21” Antique 1902 Bisque Kid Leather Handwerck German Doll Open Mouth Sleep Eyes

Description: Here is a 21" antique bisque with kid leather body, signed German doll by Henrich Handwerck from 1902. She comes from a local estate where she was kept in a glass case. Just beautiful and in near excellent condition. NO cracks or chips in the bisque. Working brown glass sleep eyes. Tiny chip on a front tooth. Lower bisque arms and hands and fingers perfect. Small tears and a few stains on the kid leather. Legs need pins reattached correctly, but legs stay in place. She was written on her back with a from and to and the year of 1902. Of course that is totally covered by her clothing. I don't know if the wig is original. It is older and most likely human hair. Needs restyling and probably need to remove some of the stray glue on her forehead but I'll leave that up to the new owner. Open pate. I will carefully stuff the head for shipping to keep the eyes safe. A lot of her under clothing is vintage. It has few repairs. Her camisole buttons at the shoulders, pantaloons have french pleats and trimmed at the knees. Close with a button. Petticoat also closes with a button. Obviously her stockings are vintage to her. I didn't want to stretch them so only pulled them down to show her muslin legs, one has a tiny seam split at the very top. No shoes. Her dress is newer but made very well. Layered with netting to help her dress flair out if displayed standing. Matching hat with older hat pin to hold in place. Very nice feather on the hat. Perhaps ostrich? No odors. Such a gorgeous antique doll for you to love! Please ask any questions you may have. Look at all pics. View all Pictures as they are the best description. She will be packed carefully and sent by insured Mail. Thank you for viewing and please take a look at my other auctions.
