ANTIQUE GERMAN FIGURAL LADY HALF DOLL/PIN CUSHION DOLL BRUSH GERMANY HERTWIG
Item History & Price
Hello and welcome to my auctions. Up for your consideration is a beautiful antique half doll lady brush. She is shown in "The Half-Doll" by Shona & Marc Lorrin in Volume 1 on page 18. (See photo 2 ~second dolls on the right in varying sizes.) These brushes had many uses back in the day. Some uses were for tables or crumb brushes, clothes brushes, hair cuts and so on. This lovely lady is wearing an aquamarine sweet heart neckline dress with tiny sphagetti st...raps. There is a wide black band around her waist. I have added a silk bow around her waist to match her hat so this is new. She has a butter yellow fancy hat tilted to the left with a feather boa on top. She is wearing large white round beads around her neck and holds an orange & brownish two toned fan in her right hand. She has a sweet innocent looking face with beautiful blue eyes, rosy cheeks, red round parted lips, and one stroke light chocolate brown eyebrows. She has curly shoulder length light blonde hair. She has long finely defined fingers on both hands. Stamped on the back porcelain is "Germany." (Last photo.) Her brush bristles are very clean and in place so I doubt if she was ever used. She is most charming brush lady, and rare to find one in such nice condition indeed!
She has absolutely no chips, cracks, damage or restoration anywhere. She has little to no paint wear anywhere either. Mentioned for complete and utter accuracy in description purposes only, is a tiny paint flake off the front of her gown. She measures approximately slightly under 7 inches tall. (Photo 8.) (All measurements taken at longest/widest/highest points.)
I am always happy to combine shipping on all my items. Payment is appreciated within 3 days of auctions end. Thank you for looking & enjoy bidding on my auctions!
