She dates from around
1898. Sleep brown eyes, and open mouth
with teeth. Pretty pale blond original
wig. Fully jointed body with no playwear
but some flaking areas to the paint and
gesso on upper arms and upper legs. I
think she has just been stored in an
attic for some time, as she is in such
unplayed with condition. Her dress is
gorgeous - cream lace - and underneath
her undies are just as impressive. A
pleated half slip with lace trim and
inserts, and under that a lovely knitted
half underskirt with pink silk trims.
This is particularly pretty with little
points all the way round the bottom.
Under that long drawers. She has her
original socks - one very frail and the
other, well not a lot left of it - but I
prefer to retain this as it is rather
than add replacement socks - but entirely
up to the purchaser. Super little
original shoes incised underneath with 1,
the same as her head. Her bonnet is cream
silk, this is shredding, but is so thick
it is still lovely for display. 457s were
produced by Baehr & Proeschild. She
is a charming doll with a gentle look.
Personally, I like her very much and
would recommend her to any of my
collectors. A delightful doll for any
collection. Do contact me if you are
interested in purchasing this lovely
girl.This
