Kley & Hahn commissioned the famous Kestner company, known as The King of Dollmakers, when they produced the darling "Walkure" models, and this beautiful girl is an exceptional example! She has a particularly sweet expression, with a pale bisque tinted with a slight blush. She looks like she is about to jump off the cabinet and play with you! Her face framed by dark brown mohair curls, and her antique body adorned in a lovely antique pale pink cotton dress. This girl will have you waiting by the door for when she’s shipped!
