Lanternier Limoges - Pop Chérie 6 - 1910-1920 - Frankrijk
An elegant and highly refined antique bisque head doll by Lanternier, Limoges, model “Chérie 6”, dating to circa 1915 and now well over 100 years old. This beautiful French doll embodies the quality and artistic finesse associated with Limoges porcelain production, and represents a more uncommon and desirable maker within the field of antique dolls.
The finely modelled bisque head displays a delicate, luminous complexion with subtle shading, expressive open-and-close blue glass eyes, and finely painted lashes and brows. The slightly open mouth reveals teeth, lending the doll a gentle, lifelike expression of great charm. The original marking “Lanternier Limoges – Chérie 6” is present at the back of the head, confirming its authenticity and origin. Importantly, the head is free from hairlines and remains structurally excellent.
The doll is mounted on a jointed composition body, allowing for natural positioning and display. It is dressed in a period-style ensemble consisting of a soft cream dress with lace detailing, complemented by a bonnet and knitted socks. Additionally, the doll comes with an extra vintage spare dress, adding further appeal and display versatility for collectors.
Condition is very good and honest for a piece of this age. The bisque head retains its fine surface quality, while the body shows expected age-related wear, including minor surface imperfections and paint loss to the fingers and joints. The clothing shows gentle signs of age and use, consistent with its history.
A particularly appealing and relatively scarce example of a French Lanternier doll, combining fine porcelain work, expressive character, and strong decorative presence. An excellent addition for collectors seeking quality and individuality beyond the more commonly encountered makers.
