Set of 7 Exquisite and Rare Antique German Bisque Doll House Dolls. All have their original clothing. They are in very good condition for their age. All are meticuluously dressed with fine details. The fabrics vary as some are dressed in felt, wool, cotton and velvet. Clothing is in good used condition for the age of the fabric. Conditions concerns are noted, but you can see the general condition from the photos. There are no chips or cracks or repairs. Dolls are mostly of ...the Victorian era and some in early 1900's. Not played with and only on display in a framed shadow box from a smoke free home. (Shadow box not included in the price, but if desired, please contact me. Included (in order of the individual photos) is an aristocratic gentleman, 6 1/4 inches tall, with a fancy cane and fake fur trimmed coat. Also a beautifully refined and very well-dressed lady who is 7 inches tall.I've never seen a doll house doll so lovely. Her legs are almost detached from her body which seems to be stuffed with sawdust due to the fragile body fabric (see additional photo). Also a bit of the delicate detailed embroidery on one sleeve has come loose, but only a small portion, The embroidery thread is still intact. There is a small white spot on her molded hair, but this is not a chip, just a manufacturer's production coloring mark. Also included is a nurse. She has her original paper Red Cross Label on her collar. Her white apron is soiled by age, but all parts of her costume are intact, including her hat. There are a couple of holes in her striped dress, hard to see due to the dress pattern. Perhaps these are from a moth. There is a chauffeur, 6 1/4 inches tall, complete with brown painted leather gloves and leatherette boot tops. There is a maid, 6 1/4 inches tall. She is the only doll with a mohair wig. Her apron has a bit of deterioration, but truly good for it's age and not very noticable. There is a butler who is 6 1/4 inches tall. He has arm garters and a nice belt beneath his apron. There is another gentleman who is 7 inches tall, dressed quite nicely and has a mustache.
I have more detailed photos available if you are seriously interested that I can share with you. I am happy to answer any questions. I originally purchased these wonderful doll house dolls as a set in the 1980's in Connecticut at a much greater price. I am selling them only as a set and not splitting them up individually. My mother and I both collected dolls and loved doll houses and I am now trying to downsize my collections to keep my family happy now that I am in my retirement years. I am reluctantly parting with these, but have truly enjoyed having something so unique and special in my collection, especially with the more rarely found butler, nurse, chauffeur, maid etc. I will be putting more dolls and doll house items for sale in the next year, so please check back and see my other listings for collectibles. I hope these find a new home with someone who appreciates them as much as I have.
Thank you.
