Hello,

Your item is a set of seven Chinese antique dolls/figurines, likely dating to the early to mid-20th century. These dolls are crafted with silk clothing, clay hands, feet, and faces, with painted features. The materials and craftsmanship suggest they were likely produced as decorative or collectible figures rather than toys for extensive use.

Dolls such as these were commonly made for export to Western markets during the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s–1950s, when handcrafted Chinese dolls became popular among collectors and tourists. The painted facial details and traditional silk attire indicate they may have been handcrafted in workshops specializing in folk or cultural representation. The presence of wire stands and a wooden pedestal suggests that some of them were intended for display rather than play.
