This beautiful 26″ tall and all originally dressed,
early German,
circa 1890-1910,
Sonneberg
-type, papier-mache shoulderhead
doll
(probably by Muller & Strasburger, paper label removed long ago as shown in photo 5), Germany) has her
original, horsehair stuffed cloth body with original leather lower arms, cloth legs and original leather sewn-on boots (needing repair or replacement)
. Her lovely molded blonde hair is styled with center part and covered ears and perfect curls all around. She has the sweetest expression with blue/grey painted eyes and blonde eyebrows and
softly painted finish with no repainting or touchups.
Her
original layered outfi
t includes a wonderful, red, calico-printed cotton dress with lovely black velveteen trimmed collar and gathered sleeves, printed stockings, petticoat and bloomers
which have no stains or holes and no odors as she is from a smoke free home.
She makes a delightful addition to any early doll collection and will look wonderful in a child’s antique rocking chair. (loc D) Other dolls and items shown are
not included
and listed separately.
Please note:
nearly all of our items are
antique or vintage
(usually with some signs of wear due to usage and previous storage). We do our very best to describe and photograph them for you and do not repair, restring, repaint or enhance them in any way as most collectors prefer to find them in their original state. Please use the zoom feature on our photos as they are an important part of the description. We try to list our items below current book value and will consider reasonable offers and respond after the item has been listed for at least twenty-four hours.
Let us know if we can help you with anything else. We have
more antique and vintage dolls, dollhouse furniture and antique dollhouse dolls available,
