Stunning Simon and Halbig DEP for the French Market.

Isn`t this doll lovely? She has creamy smooth bisque and very distinct large cut eyes. Her bisque head would have been made by Simon and Halbig to be sold on a French body in France. Her French jointed body is in good condition. She is marked SH1079DEP Germany- and bears little resemblance to a usual 1079. She has sleep brown eyes with full eye wax, finely painted eyebrows with additional individual brush strokes. Open mouth with four upper teeth. Dimple in her chin, and well moulded quite prominent ears, pierced and wearing little faux pearl earrings.
She measures about 15"and I would suggest dates from about 1895.

She is so well dressed in a love French style dress of fine sprigged cotton with a gauze underlayer. Lace and ribbon trim. Antique fine cotton, lace trim drawers. She has replacement cotton socks and leather shoes. She also has a very prety floral trimmed straw hat. Quality pale brown real hair ringlet wig. As nice a doll of her type as you would find. Perfect size for a cabinet or to sit on the lap perhaps of a larger older sister.

This lovely Doll is priced £595
