Up for sale is a magnificent, museum-quality antique Alpine-style Concert Zither (Konzertzither). This exceptional turn-of-the-century instrument represents a beautiful piece of German-American musical history. It features a meticulously crafted wooden body, a fully fretted melody fingerboard with pearl position markers, and a wide array of accompaniment harmony strings. The soundhole is beautifully adorned with an intricate, vibrant floral decal rosette that remains in gorgeous condition. Historic Provenance:Visible through the soundhole is the original historic paper shop label from M. Manufacturers & Importers of Violins, Bows & Strings, located at 1535 Third Ave near 86th St. In New York City. The Nebel brothers were prominent German-born luthiers operating in Manhattan’s Yorkville neighborhood during the late 1890s and early 1900s. This label firmly roots the instrument’s provenance in the rich musical immigration history of New York. The lid hinges are not functioning, one is missing. It looks like there is a string missing, but I could imagine it would need new strings? For it age it’s an excellent condition, but please do refer to the pictures as there are signs of use and its age. This is a virtual estate sale held in northeast Florida of the collections of multiple generations from my family. The proceeds will be used to create a healthy home for my future family. Thank you for helping to be a part of that.

This doll is a 17.5″ pre-1900 German Fashion doll by an unknown maker marked only with a “7. She has blue set eyes, open mouth with teeth, pierced ears and a vintage curly wig. She is dressed in a walking suit with bloomers, slip, socks and shoes. She has a very faint hairline above her eyebrow (see pictures) and small nicks on each earring hole which doesn’t detract from her overall beauty. Her stringing is a little tight so she may need to be restrung. She would make a nice addition to a collection for a doll enthusiast.

The intricate design and craftsmanship of these pieces make them a unique and valuable addition to any antique collection or decor. The incense burners combined offer a blend of functionality and aesthetics, showcasing the elegance and quality of antique German craftsmanship. Not Japan or Dresden. They are not identical, they are mirror images of each other, probably meant for a mantel originally.

Based on inspection of photos, Gemini says. Up for sale is a highly collectible and remarkably scarce 11-inch antique German Täufling (Motschmann-type) baby doll dating from the mid-to-late 19th century, circa 1860s to 1870s. Hailing from the historic toy-making hub of the Sonneberg region, this fascinating character baby beautifully illustrates the historical design influence of early Japanese Ichimatsu dolls imported to Europe during the period. The doll features a solid-dome papier-mâché head with a distinct, sculpted topknot hair tuft, multi-toned painted hair, and deeply set dark glass side-glancing eyes that perfectly accentuate its expressive, pouting facial features. Built with a classic multi-part segmented body, it boasts a tightly packed, completely rigid muslin-fabric midsection connected to hard, molded papier-mâché extremities by its original, highly sought-after floating metal disc joints. It comes dressed in a beautiful vintage geometric grid-patterned romper featuring detailed needlework at the collar, complete with its original pair of coarsely woven tan knit stockings. Please review all provided photographs carefully to assess the doll’s estate-found condition. The dense papier-mâché head and molded limbs exhibit significant age-related wear, with extensive lifting, cracking, and peeling to the original painted factory finish across the face, the back of the skull, and notable areas of surface paint loss on the hands and forearms that expose the pinkish-tan base material underneath. Reassuringly, the original 1860s factory mold seams are clearly visible on the limbs, and all molded fingers remain structurally intact with no broken or missing digits. Crucially, the structural integrity of the articulated limbs remains excellent, as all matching metal washer discs and central iron pins are completely original, tightly hand-stitched, and entirely unreplaced. The densely stuffed torso shows expected age-toning and minor moisture spotting (foxing) consistent with its great age, but remains completely solid, firm, and structurally sound. This is a marvelous, structurally complete example of early German toy history that would make a stellar restoration project or standout display piece for any serious antique doll collection. Two photos were taken of the face under ultraviolet light to inspect for repainting. We are not experts at interpretation of these photos. Although Gemini saw no evidence modern repaints, we offer no opinion on this matter. This doll was stored in a smoke-free and pet-free home. Please inspect the photographs. This doll will be wrapped in tissue and cushioned with kraft paper in a new heavy duty box.

ULTIMATE DARK ACADEMIA INSTANT LIBRARY – 1900 GERMAN DRAMA & POETRY. An exceptional, highly cohesive design block of early twentieth-century German intellectual thought. This lot features the profound psychological realism of Friedrich Hebbel, Heinrich von Kleist’s existential tragedies, and the celebrated Low German regional dialect works of Fritz Reuter. Tied together beautifully by matching, flamboyant publisher-issued Jugendstil bindings, this set serves perfectly as an authoritative reference collection for scholars or a premier architectural display for interior decorators. A masterclass in Jugendstil graphic arts, featuring highly ornate covers with stylized organic lines and center-set gold medallions. Includes rare Low German “Plattdeutsch” regional poetry and prose illustrated by academic artists Konrad Beckmann and Hermann Tischler. Stunning shelf presentation with uniform spine heights and heavy, dramatic Gothic Fraktur typography. The cloth boards retain magnificent, deep coloration. Gold gilt tooling on the spines is legible and clean, showing standard age-related dulling and a light vintage patina across the older dramatic titles. Caps and corners show only microscopic friction wear. All text blocks are solid, square, and tight. The traditional Fraktur printing is crisp and clean throughout. No missing pages or torn hinges noted; paper shows uniform atmospheric toning along the edges from authentic over-the-century aging. Due to the significant weight and kinetic density of these antique volumes, they will be securely packed using professional archival methods. The books will be sealed in a thick poly vapor barrier, tightly bound into a single solid “brick” to prevent shifting friction, and packed into a 65 lb-rated corrugated box surrounded completely by dense structural kraft dunnage.
