Handwerck Halbig Doll in Broderie Anglaise Dress

• Composition - Composition is a material used for dolls, sculpture and furniture. It is a type of composite material made from a mixture of materials such as sawdust, glue, and pigments. It is a popular material for dolls and figurines because it is lightweight and easy to work with. It is also used in furniture-making, particularly in the construction of decorative pieces such as figurines and sculptures. It is less common in high-end furniture as it is not as durable as some other materials such as wood or metal. However, it is a more affordable and accessible option for some types of decorative pieces.
• Broderie Anglaise - Broderie anglaise was popular in the 19th century and has been used to decorate clothing and home textiles since then. Broderie anglaise, also known as English embroidery, is a decorative needlework technique that involves creating cutwork designs on fabric using a combination of embroidery and lace-making techniques. The designs typically feature small, intricate holes cut into the fabric and then embellished with embroidery stitches.
  
  This type of embroidery is usually made on lightweight fabrics such as cotton, linen or batiste, and is characterized by its delicate and lacy appearance. Broderie anglaise is often used to embellish clothing, linens, and other household items such as tablecloths, napkins, and doilies. The designs can be geometric, floral or figurative and it's mostly used for decorative items such as clothing, home decor and accessories.
