Looks very old, but someone covered the original, old, cracked finish with varnish or something (see photo, taken from the left side).

The piece is not "wobbley" at all, and is very well made. It was bought in Central California, in a very historical area.

The back legs are straight, and the front ones are shaped beautifully.

The drawers are tongue in groove.

it has three drawers and three cupboards and on the middle drawer on the inside it looks like a sliver ware sorter and has the name haddon hall with a symbol above it it has dove tail drawers and wierd hinges on the cupboerds the hinges slide to open instead of a cylender hinge its on a metal base and it slides open

Painting was a gift to my Mom. It appears in good to very good shape. Looks like original frame. I searched the internet and found that Runci painted "Calender Girls: in the 50's and his wife was a Graphic Artist in Los Angeles. Her name was Maxine, so it seems that this is a portrait of his wife.

Heads are made of papier-mache with possibly felt over the papier mache, painted on faces, not sure if body is made of papier-mache or not, cloth or felt 'skin,' jointed shoulders and hips, hand made clothes which are sewn directly onto body, felt hats, leather on some parts of dolls, real hair.  I don't know much about these dolls, I'm looking for all the information I can get.  I'm not even sure of their ethnicity.  Very old!!  I am attaching many pictures.  Thank you in advance!
