Antique French Bisque Mechanical Walking Doll

Description

Antique French Bisque Mechanical Walking Doll. This is a 17” doll with a bisque head and papier-mâché body which may be wound up with a key to her hip. Her wrists are jointed and with all fingers intact. White upper teeth peek through her red lips, and her eyelashes and eyebrows are delicately stroked with a fine brush. The eyes are paperweight glass, of bluest sapphire tone. Her nostrils are color- accented for a healthy appearance, and her complexion is peach-blush pink. The sandy blond wig is curled in ringlets, and a row of bangs frame her cheerful face. The doll’s condition is “Very Good Used", without damage or repairs. The underdress is tagged while her pink and cream frock is a replacement, as is the wig. The back of the head features the anchor mark, signifying Limoges porcelain.
