1805 Bicorne C1805 Dolls Revolutionary Toys
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of the post-revolutionary era in France, as depicted through the fashion and design of two exquisite dolls from the Empire period, circa 1805. The dolls, dressed in the height of fashionable attire, showcase the opulence and elegance that emerged during this time of political and social transformation. The doll on the left wears a voluminous, flowing gown adorned with intricate floral patterns and a delicate lace collar. Her hairstyle, featuring soft curls and a center part, is reminiscent of the popular "Waterfall" hairstyle favored by women of the period. Her hat, a fashionable "bicorne," is a testament to the influence of the military on women's fashion during this time. The doll on the right is equally impressive, with her elegant gown featuring a fitted bodice and full skirt, adorned with intricate embroidery and beading. Her hairstyle, featuring a simple yet elegant chignon, is a departure from the elaborate Waterfall hairstyles of the time, reflecting a growing trend towards simpler, more understated beauty. Her hat, also a bicorne, is a nod to the military influence on fashion during the Empire period. These dolls, with their intricate detailing and authentic period costumes, offer a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and design of the post-revolutionary era in France. The bicorne hats, in particular, were a symbol of the military influence on fashion during this time, as they were originally worn by soldiers in the Napoleonic army. The dolls themselves are likely to have been cherished possessions of children during this period, providing them with a connection to the fashion and culture of the time. Overall, this image is a captivating reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the Empire period in France.
