1920's UNIS France 10" Bisque Head Boy Doll, Mold 60, Fabulous Clothing, Antique

Description

Handsome little UNIS France mold 60 bisque head doll....dates c. 1920's and measures 10" tall, from the top of the forehead to the toe (excluding hair and hat)....has the typical UNIS France marking on the back of the head with the mold number 60 below....original five-piece mache'/compo body....completely hand-painted facial features....FABULOUS suit with great detail....note the four teeny-tiny buttons up the front of his shirt and elaborate design of the jacket....suit is brown iridescent fabric meant to look like silk with salmon-colored piping and a burgundy lining....jacket closes in front with two teeny-tiny hooks and eyes...pants are sewn on....when I first acquired this doll I thought he had been redressed and given a replacement wig, however upon closer examination I believe the clothing and wig may be original, or at least made for the doll shortly after it was manufactured....doll is in overall excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs....a minor color rub on the tip of his nose....clothing is also excellent, however his silk shirt is melting/deteriorating, which is the only flaw on this wonderful doll....mohair wig may be original, however the styling is a little mussed....retains original cardboard pate....please study all photos, feel free to ask questions, and be sure to check out my other interesting antique auctions!
