Extra-large antique French doll. Bisque head with glass eyes; open mouth with teeth; pierced ears; marked: 12. Wig is marked 'human hair' and appears to be vintage. Wood body jointed at neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and knees; all joints move easily. Pink wool coat and bonnet appear to be children's quality clothing from the 1950s; lacy white dress and bloomers appear to be handcrafted from 1960s. Antique leather shoes. Last photo shows my mother's 1986 receipt of 0 for the doll purchase. Doll stand included.
29” overall height. Very good condition overall. Head in very good condition with no chips/cracks. Body in very good condition with light finish wear and old repair to reattach finger; see close-up.
Please forgive me for not redressing the doll for shipment; am assuming you'll be wanting to inspect her upon delivery. Thanks. Will be professionally packaged with lots of cushion to protect and immobilize for a safe delivery. Of the hundreds of dolls our late mother collected over her lifetime, this was the most prized. We hope you get as much enjoyment from her as our mother did.
ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL SHOPPERS:
If you plan to use a U.S. shipping logistics company to forward your doll to you, we suggest you have them repackage in a larger box with more cushion for a safe shipment, or we'll gladly do this for an additional charge. We hope you understand that we cannot be asked to package for a safe international shipment
(larger box with more cushioning materials) when you have paid only for a short domestic shipment. Unfortunately, we have now experienced an issue with a Russian buyer receiving a broken doll due to not being repackaged by their international service for a safe delivery and we want to ensure this does not happen again. Thank you.
