The real Mathilde, a very special china Rohmer from the Rohmer family, who now resides in the Grovian Doll Museum collection, was used to create the Carl Armstrong reproduction version showcased here.

Fashioned not so differently from her namesake, our little Mathilde is hand-made from organic materials – porcelain, leather, wood, cotton, cork and mohair – in America. Designed to look like an antique doll, Mathilde possesses details such as a stuffed leather body with an antique finish, legs that bend with the aid of the Rohmer silk ribbon and hook method for securing the legs into a sitting position, jointed knees, beautiful china legs, plus long, detailed china arms that are jointed at the shoulders. (The arms do rotate and swivel, but do not necessarily hold a pose, as per the antique originals.) Her head features the cup and saucer neck rotation system and her pale china head is beautifully painted with delicate features. A full curly mohair wig completes the package. Each doll is unique, so expect slight variations whether it be in coloration, leather texture, facial painting, or body shape. A joy to costume, Mathilde will help provide hours of enjoyment for the doll couturier in you.
