15" antique bisque head composition French Limoges Doll From France "TLC"

Description

DESCRIPTION:
This auction is for an antique French doll incised Limoges France, 4 on the back of her bisque head, 1890s+. This doll has "imperfections" I will describe and needs a little TLC and or "restorations". This doll measures 15" tall being a bisque socket head with "worn" strung wooden composition jointed doll body. Strung fine she is jointed at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and knees with all fingers intact. She displays well with a doll stand or just sitting.
Body shows overall wear throughout, paint touch ups, chipping and scuffs for being over 100 years old., her paint
a bit darker in places, not the best repaint. Both of her feet at toe areas have had line crack repairs, see photo #7 please, all together intact but you may wish further restorations to your liking throughout body and feet.  This girl has a lovely "expressive" face with open and close brown glass sleepy eyes that work fine, painted lashes around her eyes, she has dark eye brows, open mouth with upper teeth and great coloring on her face. I flashed her bisque head and do not see any cracks or hairlines, head is dirty inside, eyes on rocker are worn but work fine. She has pierced ears and wears pearl drop earrings in her ears. Blonde wig is up in a fancy hair style, it is glued on a pate that goes over her head, a newer vintage wig and not antique like this doll but charming. She is dressed in a Turn of the Century "style" pink dress with net overlay with ribbon and lace. Her dress has a small rip at the back, it needs a snap or button at the back, sleeves a bit long, you may wish to do a little sewing restore on her costume or replace it. She wears slip, pantaloons stockings and shoes.  I have taken plenty of photos, please look at my photos to serve as part of this description. The doll stand is not included. If you would like further pictures or have any questions, concerns please email me prior to bidding. Enjoy this lovely French doll as she is or go for some "restorations".  Offering to you as is condition shown with no reserve auction with Best Offer,  Thank you for looking in.
