AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Third edition of the Flowers in Fashion series, The Calla Lily draws inspiration from the sculptural elegance of the arum, a flower symbolizing purity and majestic beauty. This collection transposes into the Barbie universe the natural and refined silhouette of grand flowers, interpreting them as couture creations.
The doll wears a long green silk skirt evoking the fresh leaves of spring. Her bodice is topped with an ivory satin jacket whose wide lapel frames the face, recalling the open corolla of the calla in full bloom. Delicately highlight the neckline line with small decorative pearls. She is completed by long ivory gloves, pearl earrings, and matching green stilettos. The pulled-back black hairstyle and refined makeup enhance the slender, sophisticated look of the ensemble.
Seller's Story
Chimay Collection House is a cultural and collecting project from Belgium, where art, history, and investment potential come together.
It was founded in Chimay (ʃi-mɛ), a historic principality in Wallonia, Belgium, within an 18th-century home that became a symbol of continuity. Just as stone preserves the passage of time, collections live on, passing from one generation to another.
The project is led by a Belgian-trained antique dealer with over 15 years of experience. At its core lies art history and a philosophy that views collecting both as cultural heritage and as a long-term value.
We have chosen two fields where passion and investment converge:
— Costume Jewelry of the 20th century — collectible pieces, many documented in major reference books and catalogues.
— Collectible Barbie Dolls — iconic editions that reflect fashion, design, and the culture of their time.
Chimay Collection House is not static — it grows and evolves. Its mission is to act as a guide for collectors worldwide, helping them to discover beauty, understand value, and shape the future through collections.
