Handmade Folk Art Cloth Dolls – Set of 4 Primitive Embroidered Face Rag Dolls in Modern Aaron Brothers Keepsake Box
Description:
Up for sale is a charming set of four handmade folk-art style cloth dolls, displayed in a contemporary Aaron Brothers keepsake box.
The Dolls
These are primitive-style rag dolls made from coarse beige fabric that resembles burlap or old feed-sack material. Each doll features hand-embroidered facial features (eyes, noses, and mouths in black, red, and other colors) and colorful headwraps or bandanas with yarn and fabric accents. The bodies are simple and tubular with a soft, stuffed form and visible fraying and wear consistent with age and handmade construction.
They have a strong vintage folk-art aesthetic and appear older, though exact age is unknown. These are not modern mass-produced toys—they are clearly handcrafted decorative or collectible pieces in the traditional primitive/rag-doll style.
The Box
The dolls are housed in a modern Aaron Brothers 5x7 Black Keepsake Box (item #1128719). The box is made in Thailand, has the original retail label still attached ($24.99), and includes the factory adhesive pads and plastic hardware. The exterior is white-painted wood with a hinged lid; the interior is black. This is a contemporary retail product (likely 2000s–2010s) and is not vintage.
Condition
• Dolls: Good overall with expected wear, fraying at the lower edges, and age-related discoloration that adds to their primitive character.
• Box: Clean and solid with original label and hardware intact. Shows only light handling wear.
This is a nice ready-to-display set—older-looking handmade folk dolls paired with a clean, modern storage box. Perfect for collectors of primitive, folk art, or handmade cloth dolls.
