Mattel BFMC Silkstone Barbie Doll Ravishing in Rouge MPN 52741 NRFB

Robert Best's "Silkstone" Barbie Fashion Model Collection is considered by many doll collectors to be the pinnacle of Barbie. These dolls were inspired by the aesthetic of the vintage original and have been elevated with elegant fashion using high end textiles and immaculate attention to detail. Their bodies are made of a dense, heavy weight vinyl that is intended to resemble the feel of porcelain.

This is the "Ravishing in Rouge" doll, released in 2001 as an FAO Shwartz Exclusive. Full-skirted elegance in crimson satin ensures an evening of sophisticated fun. Cape to match trimmed in faux sable.

Back lace trimmed petticoat enhances the flair and flirt of the skirt, while the subtle sparkle of golden and rhinestone jewelry add sleek panache to this already sensational party ensemble. Doll has never been removed from box. She is packed neatly and intact. All pieces appear to be present. Her clothing is clean and shows no signs of display.

Her hair is neat and tidy. The box has some discoloration on the surface and some scuffing (see pictures).

Artificial materials or elastics may be weak or degraded from age and were not tested for their integrity.
