Madame Alexander Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Doll

This is a vintage Madame Alexander composition or hard plastic doll representing Queen Elizabeth II, specifically commemorating her 1953 coronation. The doll features a hand-painted face with sleep eyes that have molded lashes, and rosy-blushed cheeks typical of the mid-century manufacturing style. She is dressed in an elegant pink satin ball gown featuring silver metallic lace trim and a darker mauve or purple hemline accent. The doll wears a distinctive metallic gold-toned crown adorned with red faux-jewel accents over brunette hair. A purple silk sash is draped across her shoulder with the visible gold lettering 'CORONATION DOLL', a key identifier for this specific release. The craftsmanship reflects the higher-end production values of the Madame Alexander Doll Company from the early 1950s. Regarding condition, the doll appears to be housed in a non-original plastic bag. While the fabric shows typical age-related creasing, the colors remain vibrant. There is visible wear on the sash lettering, and the crown shows minor oxidation or tarnish consistent with its age. The facial paint remains intact with no significant crazing or paint loss immediately visible, though the elastic in the garments may have loosened over time. This piece represents a significant historical memorabilia item within the doll-collecting community.
