Vintage Artist Parian Lady 21" |
 |
High Quality Craftsmanship $395. |
 |
 |
The artist who crafted this parian lady with molded black hair was truly gifted, as until you see the signature on the back of the shoulders (Claremaid 1963), you will be studying her, wondering which antique doll firm may have made her. Untinted white parian bisque on her face and shoulders with blue painted eyes, soft shading and impeccable artistry make way to notice her pierced ears and her intricate hairdo with a row of black ringlet curls on her forehead to a high up-do in the back and a molded violet hairband with gold accents. She has a cloth body with posed parian hands and molded shoes that are boots with laces. Clothing is of antique lace, cotton and silk ribbon. |

Madame Alexander "Cissy" 20" |
 |
In Her Theatre Outfit $795. |
 |
 |
 |
Who can resist these super stylish, important vintage fashion dolls named Cissy? Made by Madame Alexander in 1955, this doll has such a presence not only due to her statuesque 20" height, but from an inherent aesthetic style and confident attitude that she possesses. |
 |
 |
 |
She is truly high fashion in her original vibrant blue satin theater dress with coordinating ice colored wide coat, with a versatile scarf that can be worn many ways. Being mostly an antique doll person myself, I may have modeled her in unorthodox vintage ways, but it is just that to me, she is a true evolving fashion doll representing couture history. |
 |
 |
 |
She has blue sleep eyes, a honey blond hair color in original style, her hard plastic head, torso and jointed knee legs are all in good condition, as are her vinyl, elbow jointed arms. There is not foul odor to report, her dress has the original manufacturer's label and I separately found her Cissy shoes to add to her costume. |

Schoenhut 21" |
 |
Character Girl $850. |
 |
 |
One of the large Schoenhut characters, this attractive girl can add some extra dimension to your collection with her unusual height. She has features that resemble the bisque characters from German doll companies like Kammer and Reinhardt from the same era, before the 1920's. She has some touch up to her face, but not completely as is often found with these dolls, even some that were refurbished at the factory. |
 |
 |
 |
She has blue painted eyes and a pouty expression and wears an auburn human hair wig, but not known if original. The marked wood body has the usual, wonderful and versatile jointing at shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles for ultimate posing. Her blue print dress is from her era and her repro Schoenhut white leather shoes have the signature grommets under the sole to facilitate the original stands used by the factory. |

Exquisite Artist Nun 23" |
 |
Wax Character SOLD |
 |
 |
 |
Outstanding wax portrait doll by a doll artist with the mark T.K. 95 on the rear neck. The work is of the caliber of famous wax doll artist, Lewis Sorensen, as capturing the human soul is so clearly evident in this aged nun in her full habit. With blue glass eyes and highly sculpted facial features and age lines, she almost comes alive with a content smile. The human aspect is continued on the super lifelike hands in their pose and sculpted detail. Her habit is original and comes with a Crucifix necklace, a wooden cross, and a wax book as a prop. |

Incredibly charming, seldom seen collection of paper dolls from the Little Henry and Little Fanny series of 1810, where there is a story about the character told in a bound book of separate poems enclosed in original sleeve (overall wear to book cover and sleeve due to age, but paper dolls excellent).
