An elegant and collectible doll by Marin Chiclana, titled “Vanessa – Siglo XX”, presented on its original wooden base with engraved name plaque.
This doll belongs to a limited line by Marin Chiclana dedicated to historical characters, where each figure represents a distinct period through carefully designed costume, materials, and silhouette.
This piece captures refined late 19th–early 20th century fashion aesthetics, interpreted through delicate craftsmanship and soft, romantic materials. The doll is dressed in a layered lace gown in a warm ivory tone, featuring intricate floral patterns, a structured bodice, and a satin sash. The look is completed with a matching hat, jewellery detailing, and a miniature lace parasol, adding a distinctly theatrical and decorative presence.
The doll stands on its original base, reinforcing its status as a display object rather than a toy. The expression, posture, and detailing reflect the signature style of Marin Chiclana collectible figures — decorative, feminine, and timeless.
A striking piece for collectors of designer dolls, or as a refined interior accent in a curated vintage space.
