Pictured here is a beautiful Armand Marseille 24″ antique bisque doll, fresh from a local collector who took GREAT care of her beloved dolls and had extremely elaborate costumes designed for each one. She is the most elegantly dressed doll we’ve ever offered with a flowing cloak trimmed in Ostrich feathers, beaded purse, gilded fan, real kidskin gloves and tiara! A true “Grande Dame”, ready for a night at the opera.
Marked A 7-1/2 M on back of head, remnants of “made in Germany” on back. Hand sewn outfit has so many elegant layers that I decided NOT to undress her and possibly damage the clothing. Dripping with jewels and accessories, I believe the custom designed one of a kind outfit alone cost nearly $450.
Doll head is in excellent condition, no cracks or repairs. Eyes seem to stay open and I decided not to nudge them, although they are on a rocker. Dimple in chin, real lashes as well as painted, blue glass eyes.
- Human hair wig has crystal tiara as well as feathered headdress (slight bend in a feather.)
- Long cloak has gold loops that allow doll to wear the cape by placing arms through the open loops.VERY beautiful.
- Compo body underneath the clothing. I did see one area with a flake on arm.
- Hand sewn clothing has incredible embellishment and details. Jewelry includes necklace earrings, with crystals on shoes and wrists.
- Charming hanging purse AND folding fan, all beautiful and excellent.
- Silk Dress has petticoat, netting, very full bosom, snaps in back. Excellent.
- Doll stand included, ready to display.
An exceptional doll, one of a kind design, ready to join your collection. She can be found in our ebay store connectibles.
