Antique Gebrüder Heubach Bisque Doll 22" Rare Kid Body Sleep Eyes Germany

Description

This adorable antique Gebrüder Heubach bisque doll has a charming expression that is sure to bring a smile to your face.

The original factory label remains clearly attached to the chest. No cracks or hairlines were found on the shoulder head.

Her beautifully molded face is full of character and typical of Gebrüder Heubach dolls.

The kid body is in excellent condition with no leaks or damage. The doll features rare wooden spring-jointed arms, which produce a charming squeaking sound when moved. The arm joints are somewhat stiff. The lower right arm is slightly loose but displays well. Both thumbs have small chips.

The legs move smoothly. The lower legs are composition, and there is a hole beside the right knee joint (please refer to the photos). The limbs suit the doll very well.

The original mohair wig is firmly attached. Although some curls have relaxed with age, it complements the doll beautifully.

There appears to be a marking or number on the head, but it could not be identified. A "GERMANY" mark is believed to be present on the shoulder beneath the kid body covering.

The sleep eyes operate smoothly. The long eyelashes remain intact, and the original eyelid wax is beautifully preserved.

Size: Approx. 55 cm (21.7 in)

The doll is dressed in an antique cotton dress with a brooch. The right sleeve has repairs, stains, and age-related wear. A handmade pink dress and matching hair accessory, shown in the photos, are also included.

She wears her original drawers and petticoat. The shoes are modern replacements from a private collection.

This delightful Heubach doll would make a wonderful addition to any antique doll collection.

Please note that this is an antique item with age-related wear. The condition description is based in part on the information provided when it was originally acquired.
