Rated Excellent on Trustpilot.
German-made composition doll with articulated limbs, circa 1900–1910, brand UNK, height 45 cm, in reasonable condition and without the original box.
Description from the seller
Antique doll dating roughly from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century (about 1890–1925).
In composite material (pressed wood pulp or pressed plaster) or pressed papier-mâché.
With articulated limbs.
It features fixed glass eyes, an open mouth revealing small teeth, and hand-painted features.
There are no marks or serial numbers visible, but the style and facial features strongly recall the production of the major German manufacturers of the era, such as Armand Marseille, Simon & Halbig / Kämmer & Reinhardt, Schoenau & Hoffmeister.
The clothes are not flashy but rather simple, the shirt in cotton with a floral pattern, the skirt in eyelet cotton. The shirt has glass buttons. It features a single sock.
Dimensions: 45 cm in height.
Conditions: fair, the head is in overall good condition, with few signs of wear; the body, especially the torso, shows many scratches and chips. The joints are a bit stiff and creaky. The dress is somewhat worn. Please carefully view all the photographs as they appear to be an integral part of the description.
