The 2006/07 issue of "Dolls and Teddy Bears featured the master crafter
Peter Wolf's 18C dolls, 12 in all. They range frpm $3200 plus to $650s.
Impressive lot. dollmasters.com will put them before your eye!
For myself, I made a 10" cloth lady doll and gave it the Crackle treatment.
On more than one occasion, she has passed for wood!! (The crackle treatment
involves painting the doll form with brown or any other base color; this is
overpainted with the crackle compound and white paint is applied while the
crackle coating is still somewhat wet. When it dries, it "crackles" to
reveal the base coat. Voila, old wood!)

I remember one of my doll magazines featuring a maker of 18th style
wooden dolls. But they don't come cheap--I think they were maybe $400
undressed and $750 up dressed. Theriault's sold some exclusives, but I
don't get their catalog anymore. I believe they still have an online
store.
While I love the BJD's and covet at least one in my lifetime, it won't
happen without a lottery. Volks Super Dollfie now has a factory store in
L.A., which if one has the $$, you can have a doll made from start to
finish per your specs from their full-choice system.

Does anyone make a doll that is similar to a real 18th century fashion
doll...y'know, carved of wood, painted with enamel, kinda quaintly
crude?
