Beautiful Large 24 Antique German Composition Jointed Doll with Vintage Dress
This large cabinet-sized doll has incredible shelf presence and has been remarkably well-preserved over the decades. Head & Body: Fully composition molded head and ball-jointed body. The back of the torso features the classic authentic red rectangular “GERMANY” export ink stamp, which is still crisp and legible. Face & Expression: Beautiful, classic features including painted feathered eyebrows, painted lower lashes, and a sweet open mouth that showcases its original inset teeth. Eyes: Features glass “sleep eyes” that open and close. Please note that the original wax coating on the eyelids has worn away over time, which is entirely expected and typical for a doll of this vintage. Hands & Feet: In exceptional antique condition. Unlike most composition dolls of this age, all fingers and toes are completely intact with no missing digits. The feet still feature the original red painted accent lines between the toes. Wardrobe: The doll comes beautifully outfitted in a gorgeous, genuine vintage “Hand Made Eastern Isles” white batiste cotton dress (likely circa 1930s-1940s). Eastern Isles was a premium mid-century maker famous for exquisite hand-embroidery and fine children’s wear. The dress features delicate lace trim and dainty button closures. She is also wearing period-correct black lace socks and black oilcloth/leatherette lace-up shoes. Condition Report: This doll is in Very Good Antique Condition given its age and large size. The composition is solid throughout. There is minor, typical surface paint wear around the hairline/wig edge and at the very tips of the fingertips, but no major structural cracks or deep crazing. Hair is intact but could use light styling. Please review all high-resolution photos closely as they form part of the description. Clothing has some tears that need repair. From a smoke-free home. This large, beautiful German character doll will make a fantastic addition to any antique toy collection!
