Antique 12 " Rare French China Head Doll
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:946974 |
This is a most unusual and rare china head doll. She is unmarked but has the long neck and sloping shoulders of a French china head doll. She also has a most decidedly French profile (photos # 8 & 9). She came to me with an already repaired shoulder plate. It's a very nice job and I don't know where the repair stops and the antique begins. She has a beautiful face, there might be a hairline running down the right side of the face. I only noticed it when taking t...he photos. She has a nicely molded hair style that is full on the sides and pulled into a bun in the back. I don't see any chips or damage to the head except for the possible hairline. Her painted black hair has a few rubs but generally in good condition. She's on a replaced cloth body with porcelain arms and legs. Her clothing is made from old and antique fabrics. Her pantaloons and matching half slip are flannel. Her maroon dress is antique rayon with antique black mourning bead trim with black open work at the hem. This is a rare and regal doll, I've not seen another quite like her.
