Early Wax over Papier Mache Doll Figure

Dolls:Antique:Papier-mache:Wax
This 21 ½ inch tall doll has a wax over papier mache shoulder head with wax hands and feet with well delineated fingers and toes. Her original body is created from hollow papier mache fashioned in the form of a long dressed painted blue. She has lovely glass eyes, heavily molded eyelids, painted brows and lips. She wears her original sandals. The human hair brunette wig appears to be original to the doll. I love the wonderful serene expression on this doll’s face. Circa, the mid 19th century, ...

Her hair is deeply modeled with a black molded headband and some lovely brushstrokes around the face. She has leather arms, a cloth body, and sewn on red leather boots.

Dolls:Antique:China, German:Germany:Porcelain:Hertwig & Co
This 17 inch tall china head doll, circa the 1880s, has blonde molded hair and blue eyes.

The right hand has a small chip on the thumb. The brown painted heeled shoes have inherent mold flaws on the ...

Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Germany
This 11 inch tall German porcelain head doll, circa the 1860s, is simply breathtaking. She is an early thick paste pressed head doll with cloth body and wooden lower arms and legs. She wears a lovely silk dress that, I believe, is probably original to her. The silk of the dress is starting to melt and is far too frail to remove from the doll. She also wears an antique cotton petticoat and pantaloons. The modeling, painting, and hair style of this doll are rare and fantastic. She has a molded ...

SALE 10" Belton Solid-dome Antique Bisque head doll

$595 USD Offers ConsideredSALE 10" Belton Solid-dome Antique Bisque head doll

Dolls:Antique:Bisque:Belton, French Market
This diminutive darling at 10" is the smallest solid-dome head I have had. She has the French look, with multi-stroke brow, lovely lashes and a cupids bow mouth. Her head is without damage, only some very slight small wig pulls. A hazard of these solid dome heads is that the wig must be glued to the bisque. After removing the wig to examine the head thoroughly, I carefully reglued it primarily to the stringing at the top of her head. This doll has an unusual body as the pictures show. Her torso ...
Early Closed Mouth German Papier Mache Doll with Glass Eyes

$1,095 USD Offers ConsideredEarly Closed Mouth German Papier Mache Doll with Glass Eyes

Dolls:Antique:Papier-mache:German, Germany
This 21 inch tall papier mache doll, circa the 1850-60, is most likely in all original condition. The silk dress fits her perfectly and her antique belt with red and green tassels matching her wonderful early green with red trim leather shoes. As the dress is in good but somewhat fragile condition, I did not attempt to remove it as I felt I might cause damage to the delicate fabric. This young lady with a somewhat childlike round face has a cloth body with red leather lower arms. She still ...

As you can see from the photos, the tips of three of the fingers on the right hand are chipped and there is a hairline crack down that arm. She has older replaced well made body that is quite appropriate for the ...
Elegant Large German Untinted Bisque (Parian) Shoulderhead with Molded Bow

$495 USD Offers ConsideredElegant Large German Untinted Bisque (Parian) Shoulderhead with Molded Bow

Dolls:Antique:Bisque, German:Germany
This 8 inch tall head, circa the 1860s, has deeply modeled blonde hair with a molded bow. She has blue, slightly side glancing, painted eyes and a closed mouth. She is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. There is an inherent mold flaw on the back of her neck. I believe my photos of the back of the head show this. It appears that this would have occurred in the original pressing of the bisque into the mold and is not a later repair or break. I have examined the head closely with a ...
Little Lulu Mask Face Cloth Doll by Georgene Averill

$265 USD Offers ConsideredLittle Lulu Mask Face Cloth Doll by Georgene Averill

Dolls:Antique:Cloth:American, Rag Dolls
This 15 inch tall cloth doll, circa the 1940s, wears her original red cotton dress with white rick rack trim. The original white collar and red tie are sewn as a separate piece from the dress. In a few of the photos, the collar has turned to the back. The bow should be at the front. I did not realize this until after I had finished with my photos and decided it was not a big enough issue to rephotograph in order to correct. Her red shoes and socks are sewn as a part of her legs. She has a mask ...

She has her original Motschmann composition, cloth, and wood body with original finish except for her right lower leg. It appears to have been repaired or replaced. The former owner of this doll did not mention this and I did not notice it until I made a close inspection of the doll. If it is a replacement, it has been done very well. The body is jointed at the wrists and ankles with a cloth covered ...
German Bisque Chamber Potty Pair

$85 USD Offers ConsideredGerman Bisque Chamber Potty Pair

Dolls:Antique:All Bisque, German
This cute little Victorian German novelty bisque figurine, circa the last quarter of the 19th century, is quite appealing and would be a great complement to a collection of German character dolls, piano babies, or Heubach position babies. The little pair of very unhappy children, one black and one white, is attempting to share a chamber pot with rather disastrous and contentious results. Undoubtedly created in Germany, the figurine pot is incised with the number 1588. Both children have molded ...

He wears a curly mohair original wig. His large hat is actually made of fur, which is OK as it is vintage. Unlike most of the Scottish lads I have had, he even modestly wears bloomers in the tartan of his kilt. He has a sporran with the traditional metal heather decoration(of course, we dare not call it a purse. I had a very ...
