Antique German Kling Bisque Dollhouse Boy All Original Costume 3.75” Petite

Description:

Charming antique German miniature boy doll made by Kling, dating to approximately 1890–1910. He measures just 3.75 inches tall and is especially appealing in his wonderfully detailed, all-original gentleman’s costume.

This handsome little fellow has a finely painted bisque face with fixed dark glass eyes, delicately feathered brows, rosy cheeks, and a sweet closed mouth. His original blond mohair wig remains in place and is styled in soft curls.

He wears an exceptionally attractive dark green felt tailcoat decorated with tiny gold-tone bead buttons, a cream pleated shirtfront, painted brown trousers with applied black bead “buttons,” and painted black heeled shoes. The amount of detail incorporated into such a tiny doll is delightful. He would make a wonderful gentleman for an antique dollhouse, miniature room setting, or small-doll collection.

Condition:

Overall, he is in very good antique condition, particularly considering his diminutive size and age. There is a small area of surface or paint loss at the toe of the left foot, along with age-related wear to the painted legs. The green felt has a small area of loss near the left arm/sleeve and shows minor expected wear. The antique fabrics have some age discoloration and scattered loose threads. His facial painting remains especially lovely, and his original wig and costume display beautifully.

Please examine all photographs closely, as they form an important part of the condition description.
