Scottish legends say that in the shadowed halls of Cortachy Castle, near Kirriemuir in Scotland, the spectral figure of the White Lady roams, her flowing white dress trailing behind her like a whisper of lost time. Once the secret lover of the castle's Laird, Laird Ogilvy, their forbidden affair ended in tragedy when the jealous Lady of the castle discovered their clandestine meetings. In a fit of rage and betrayal, the girl was thrown from a tower window, her life cruelly taken. Now, her presence is heralded by a deep, sorrowful chill that permeates the air, foretelling the death of an Ogilvy family member, with her mournful wails echoing through the castle as a perpetual lament for the love she lost and the vengeance that sealed her fate...
A signed Certificate of Authenticity is included and the piece will arrive in a sturdy goth style custom-made packing box, to keep her snug and safe.
I only sell pieces I have sculpted myself, this is a mixed media sculpture, please see the 'info' page for info on materials I like to use, clothes cannot be removed and hair should not be brushed.
I know some people prefer buying on Etsy (and I totally understand that) if this sculpt is still available in a couple of days I will list it on Etsy ... but it will be higher price to help cover Etsys insane fees. If a double sale does occur I will honour whichever sale came first and refund the other.
The Cortachy Castle Lady in White Ghost
I only sell pieces I have sculpted myself, each doll is a unique and one-of-a-kind original sculpt and cannot be recreated. I design and sculpt each piece, then sand, paint, pastel, costume, wig and accessorize.
These are handmade items and as such there will be the odd fingerprint, brush stroke, dropped stitch, spot of glue or other tiny 'flaws' - just like in us all. Any holes, fraying, stains or marks on the clothes are part of the overall design of the doll.
My sculptures are mixed media and intended as an adult collector's item for display only - please handle with care. Clothes are not removable and hair is not to be brushed. Keep away from direct sunlight and water (yes, just like a Gremlin!)
Only the items named in the listing are included, all other items or dolls are props for the pictures only.Buyer is responsible for any customs charges or local taxes that may be applied - the price you see does not include tax or customs duties so please check these for your country and only purchase if you understand you will be charged these on delivery of these items.
Delivery will be through Royal Mail and their international delivery partners. I always send my work insured and I am fully responsible for loss or damage until your sculpture is delivered safely to your door.
I will email you your tracking number once your sculpture is carefully packed and shipped, usually within 4 business days of ordering.
