Summary
A pair of doll's house size untinted bisque boy and girl dolls on a wood plinth. Both have painted facial features and blonde mohair hair. They have bisque arms, hands, legs and feet. The girl is wearing a cream dress with lace cuffs, neckline and bottom edge of her skirt. She has pink ribbons at the waist and shoulders and black painted shoes. The girl holds a twisted metal skipping rope attached to the boy via a metal rod ending in a handle. The girl skips when the metal handle attached to the boy's left arm is turned. The boy wears a white wool or flannel shirt trimmed with red at the cuffs and a brown fabric collar tied with a red bow. He has black velvet breeches, red painted stockings and black painted heeled boots.
