Antique Store Find
by Calivano » Sun Mar 02, 2014 3:13 pm
I went 'tiquing the other day and I found this beautiful Bonomi Italian Doll. Has anyone ever heard of this maker? She was a Saks Fifth Avenue exclusive and I am wondering what she might be worth. Here are a few of her pictures.

She has what is called "Flirty Eye". Bonomi started in the 60's, from what I can find with a few quick online searches. It looks like the dolls do have value. She looks like a very nice doll too!
It's all about Hazel!

Yeah, I googled the dollmaker and everything ive read were from old sales listings. One listing for a similar bonomi said 1950S.

If she isn't crazed, cracked, the wig is original, and doesn't have a sour smell you're already in great shape. Unless she's a reproduction. Either way enjoy the heck out of her. I'd make vintage looking clothes for her, a trunk to keep them in, everything a spoiled doll from that era would have.
