Description
This authentic mid-century Christeli Engadin doll showcases the vibrant traditional dress of Switzerland’s Graubünden region. Produced under the Schweizer Heimarbeit initiative, it serves as a beautifully preserved piece of Swiss cultural heritage, ideal for vintage toy collectors, folk art enthusiasts, and travelers seeking a genuine Alpine keepsake.
The doll features original hand-detailed characteristics including glazed blue eyes, blonde braided hair with red ribbon ties, and a meticulously crafted costume with white bobbin lace trim, a fringed black shawl, and the region’s signature heart-embroidered apron. Age-appropriate wear includes minor fringe fraying, a delicate lace collar, and naturally yellowed original paper tag, all of which add to its authentic vintage charm without detracting from its display quality.
You will receive this carefully inspected 8-inch Christeli doll exactly as photographed, with all original regional markings and tags intact. A meaningful addition to any Swiss souvenir collection or as a distinctive rustic shelf accent. Ships securely in protective packaging to ensure it arrives safely at your door.
