Very Rare Kneeling Kestner Child All Bisque

This is an extremely rare doll. Her arms are definitely Kestner, but not in the praying position normally found on this doll. These arms are correctly sized and have one clenched fist and one open hand just like the arms that are on the other Kestner all bisques from the 1890's.

She measures 4.75" from the kneeling position. If she were standing she would be approximately 6" tall. Her blonde mohair wig is antique.

Her socket head is incised 1 and has set blue eyes, finely painted features and a closed mouth. Her torso is unique to this doll. It has a slightly rounded back, well defined abdomen and a slight belly. Her bent legs are also unique, the modeling is beautiful, right down to her little toes.

Her bisque is in excellent condition with touch-up at a three of the stringing holes. Keep in mind her arms while they are Kestner are not correct but the doll is so rare she is still worth your consideration.

Sale includes dollhouse size needlepoint rug as shown.
