STUNNING SIMON & HALBIG 949

This is a stunning doll. It is fresh to the market from a private collection where it has been for more than twenty years. She has an early Simon and Halbig head - and would rival any French Bebe or Parisienne for beauty and quality. She is part Bebe and part Parisienne in many ways. She has a fine bisque head into a bisque shoulderplate with a kid disc in between for ease of movement. This enables the head to be rotated. The shoulderplate sits onto a cloth body with bisque forearms.She measures just under 19 inches. She will sit if preferred for the buyer`s display.

Her early paperweight eyes are quite breathtaking in bright blue with styrations and these eyes are amongst the most beautiful possible. Closed mouth and finely painted features. She has a lovely blond original wig. Original old drawers, underskirt and lovely brown shoes with rosettes. The soles are missing from the bottom of the shoes but of course this is not apparent in the standing position. Her outfit is beautiful - Victorian figured silk bodice and skirt in lilac with cream lace trim and a matching hat. The outfit is completed with a little Victorian black velvet and jet bead purse hanging around her waist. Do contact me if you require further details or wish to buy.
