Along the lines of the popular miniature doll transportation toys from the Maerklin company in Germany, comes this fine, gold-toned metal stroller by the Bing firm. Bing made toy autos, carriages, and train cars at the end of the 20th century, however a stroller like this is not easily found.
It has the special feature of cream, rubber covered wheels, fine construction, and even moving parts like the collapsible hood and the metal safety bar across the front arm rails. It is indeed delicate in design, but sturdy too, as it includes a 5 1/4″ Kestner all bisque passenger in her original outfit, wig and hat. The condition of all is very good. The stroller is 9 1/2″ tall at the highest point, 7 1/2″ long and 4 1/4″ wide.

A handsome furniture piece for your smaller fashions, Bebes, or all-bisque settings. This fine wood piece, with beautiful grain, can serve as a desk or chest with its pull-down table surface and two drawers.
It could even function as a smart liquor cabinet with tiny bottles, a decanter, and some glasses on a tray. Of course, it can also be displayed with the door closed, showing off all three metal knobs. It is well-made, antique, and features elegant bronzed metal feet at the front.

Perfectly sized for a 17-20″ fashion doll, this antique French commode is a standout piece for your luxury doll settings and vignettes or even as a superb home decor accessory. Expertly crafted in the mid-nineteenth century, it is made of rich mahogany wood and features three dovetailed drawers, all lined with plush, tufted turquoise silk. The commode is in near-perfect condition, and each drawer locks with the original single key.
Each drawer face is mounted with two porcelain Limoges plaques—one at each end—that depict romantic outdoor scenes with couples from the eighteenth century. The six drawer handles and the frames surrounding each plaque are made of gilt metal hardware, and along the sides and back edges of the top surface is a gilt metal raised border. The weight and luxury of this piece exemplify its quality and importance as a study in furniture design history. The dimensions are as follows: 13 ½” wide, 10″ tall, 8″ deep.
