“The Friedericys
bring art to dolls while most others try to bring their dolls to art.”
Dolls Magazine
Theatrical
characters, mythical figures, children's heroes and heroines-these are
the inspiration of the classic Friedericy Doll. Stunning, original,
handmade works of art, Friedericy Dolls are one-of-a-kind,
wax-over-porcelain art dolls. Never made from a mold-and therefore
always unique in its appeal, every doll is hand sculpted by Judith
Friedericy. Then each figure is painted, wigged, dipped in wax, costumed
in fine fabric, again by hand, by award-winning theatrical costume
designer Lucia Friedericy.
Many Friedericy pieces are actually full tableaus and scenes
encompassing multiple dolls in hand crafted settings. Renown for their
lifelike sense of movement, many dolls actually do move on turntables
and atop melodic music boxes.
The collaboration
of the Friedericy family in doll-making has its origin and continued
inspiration in the teamwork of Lucia Friedericy and her brother John, an
acclaimed sculptor, painter, and lithographer. After John's untimely
passing in 1990, their mother Judith Friedericy lent her sculpting
talents to the collaboration-and a family tradition was preserved.
Lucia and Judith
live and work in their homes in Pasadena, California |
