Sweet Cabinet sized 192 Girl

This is a sweet little German doll probably by Kestner. The fully jointed body is in really good strong condition with just the usual play wear and rubbing. Her bisque head is fully marked at the rear of the head 192 and the size number 2 in the nape of the neck. She has beautiful blue sleep eyes, open mouth with upper row of teeth, and retains her original brown real hair wig with many of the ringlets still in place. She has beautifully moulded ears which are pierced and ready to take a little pair of earrings. Nicely painted feathered eyebrows. Her dress is a pretty design in pink with lots of decorative ric-rac and rosebuds. She also has cotton drawers and bodice, together with a cream full length underskirt..

She measures about 13" and dates from around 1898. As collectors will know, 192s are not easy to attribute as although many were made by Kammer & Reinhardt, others were made by Kestner. I would attribute this lovely little girl to Kestner. Do contact me if you require more details.
