Description

Lot of four vintage Topsy-Turvy dolls, each featuring a reversible double-doll design: one side depicts an African American cloth doll, and when the skirt is flipped over, it reveals a second, Caucasian doll with a different outfit. These cloth dolls are hand-stitched with painted or embroidered features and dressed in colorful, patterned dresses.

Topsy-Turvy dolls originated in the 19th century and were produced into the mid-20th century. They are often interpreted through historical, cultural, or folk art lenses, sometimes used as storytelling tools or playthings during a complex period of American history.

Each doll in this lot is unique, with visible age and wear consistent with vintage handmade cloth dolls. An excellent lot for folk art collectors, doll historians, or textile enthusiasts.
