SALE Rare Antique Roullet Decamp French walking doll

Dolls : Antique : Bisque, French

 

Rare French 16" walking doll by Roullet Decamp. She has a French composition and wood body with a head from the German porcelain factory of Simon & Halbig. Her head is marked 1078. This is the "walker" of the beginning of the 20th century. She was assembled by the French maker with a French body and German head - making her another good example of the French-German relationship in doll-making.

Her walking mechanism works very well after 100 years. It is activated by the doll standing on a flat surface. Her mohair wig is original. She has mohair eyelashes as well. Her bisque head is perfect. She wears a cotton vintage dress, her shoes may be original as she walks very well in them. Her book price is $1700-1800., so our reduced price makes her a bargain.
