Barbie: Great Eras Collection 2-Doll Lot #5 Victorian Lady & French Lady /1993-1997 – (NRFB)

Description

NEVER REMOVED FROM BOX, in OVERALL GOOD CONDITION. This 2-doll lot is sold together as a set, with each doll NEVER REMOVED FROM BOX, in OVERALL GOOD CONDITION, showing minor wear/imperfections on box edges and corners typical for age and normal handling, unless otherwise individually specified. Dolls have typical 90’s “superstar” generic Barbie faces with large eyes, rooted lashes, and open smiles – with the exception of the Chinese Empress doll that has a modified “Kira” closed-mouth face. Bodies have the typical twist waist, straight-arms with angular shoulder movement, hips with straight back and forth movement, click-bend knees, and high-heel feet.

The “GREAT ERAS” series illustrates a variety of historically recognized fashion styles from select cultures or time frames. Each of the 10 dolls is complete with clothing representative of the selected era, with shoes and accessories as shown, plus a saddle stand with plastic round base inside the box. Each individualized storybook-type retail display/presentation box has a hinged solid front cover with Velcro-type closure. The inside covers are elaborately illustrated with historical summaries of the depicted fashion eras.

ITEMS INCLUDED IN THIS LOT #5:

1. Victorian Lady (1996 / 14900 / 074299149009) – The Victorian Era flourished in Western Europe and the United States from 1837 to 1901, and was named for Britain’s Queen Victoria, an iconic lady who reigned for 61 years with reserved sensibilities while doting on her family and keeping a close eye on political events. This fashion era was resplendent with sweeping ribbon-embellished bustled dresses, elaborated feathered headdresses, top hats, and cravats. Victorian Barbie wears a deep burgundy dress with a lace collar and tiered lace-trimmed skirt gathered in back to mimic a bustle and back train. (Box has a minor dented on bottom, and a top corner is curled up slightly, but otherwise is in good shape and displays well.)
2. French Lady (1997 / 16707 / 074299167072) – The early 1800’s marked a time of opulence in France when Napoleon Bonaparte and Lady Josephine assumed rule of the country. Napoleon fostered a civil code, religious tolerance, and fair taxes, while German composer Beethoven rose to popularity in Europe. French Lady Barbie wears a wedgewood blue velveteen gown with a long column skirt channeling the classic elegance of ancient Greek architecture. (Box has a minor dent on front and a minor dimple on the back edge but otherwise is in good shape.)
