Beautiful antique Kestner "Yellow Boots" all-bisque Mignonette doll from Germany.
This charming little doll features Kestner's high-quality white bisque with softly blushed cheeks, delicately hand-painted eyelashes, and beautiful brown glass sleep eyes. Her gently closed, full lips give her a sweet expression reminiscent of a little chick, while her gaze has remarkable depth and character.
She wears a blonde short mohair wig and her original chemise. The knitted dress and matching bonnet are antique pieces that were carefully selected to complement her.
The bisque head is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips, hairlines, or repairs. Despite her small size, the thinly finished head rim demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship for which Kestner dolls are renowned.
The bisque-jointed body is complete. The elastic stringing in the arms and legs has stretched slightly with age, although it remains hidden when dressed. She poses well and sits nicely.
Please note that this is a genuine antique item and may show minor wear, small stains, and other signs of age consistent with its history.
