Armand Marseille 390n Doll
with Bisque Head, Blue Lashed Sleeping Eyes
Antique German bisque head doll by Armand Marseille, mould number 390n, dating to the early 20th century (circa 1900–1920).
A classic and highly collectable example featuring a finely painted bisque head with blue glass sleeping eyes, delicately hand-painted lashes, and an open mouth showing teeth. The doll retains its original character and charm, complete with period-style clothing including bonnet, knitted dress, and undergarments.
The doll sits on a jointed composition body, typical of Armand Marseille production, allowing for poseable limbs.
