This endearing Sonneberg Belton-type bisque doll, dating to around 1880, reflects the elegant French-style dolls of the period such as those by Jumeau or Bru. She features a bisque socket head with a flattened solid dome, blue spiral-thread glass eyes, a closed mouth, and unpierced ears. Her wig appears to be antique-either human hair or mohair-styled to suit the period. Her composition and wood eight-ball jointed body retains its original paint and finish but shows surface wear, cracks, and age-related paint loss, particularly on the limbs and torso. Please review all photos for details. The head is incised “8” and shows a barely noticeable professional overpaint on the back and left side. She wears an antique brown pleated dress with blue velvet collar and cuffs, a matching bonnet, lace-trimmed undergarments, and antique leather shoes with metal buckles. The dress has scattered holes and small worn areas consistent with age. A charming metal “BEBE” pin adorns her collar, adding a sweet finishing touch. Height: 15 inches. Head: Bisque socket head, flattened dome. Eyes: Blue spiral-thread glass eyes. Wig: Appears to be antique, either human hair or mohair. Body: Composition and wood, eight-ball jointed, straight wrists. Markings: “8” incised on back of head. Clothing: Antique dress with wear and holes; matching bonnet; lace undergarments; antique shoes with buckles. Accessories: Original “BEBE” pin on collar. Professional overpaint on back and left side of head. Age wear, cracking, and paint loss on body. Holes and small areas of wear in dress. Shoes show age wear but remain intact. Origin: Sonneberg, Germany, circa 1880. Why it’s collectible. Belton-type dolls from Sonneberg represent a fascinating chapter in 19th-century German dollmaking, when artisans sought to emulate the refinement of French Bebes. Their serene faces, fine bisque, and transitional wooden/composition bodies make them beloved among collectors of early bisque dolls.

This very early German has a incised number on the back of her head but I cannot make it out as it is quite faint. It looks like 400 but not sure. She has a closed mouth with just a tiny bit of white separating her lips. Please peruse all of the photos as they are a huge part of my description. I try to take really close up photos so that you have a clear understanding of what you are seeing and reading. She stands 14 tall and has a beautiful face with high quality bisque. Her eyes are the early rayed ones with that spiral look. Some one added a piece of what looks to be part of a pate in order to make her head flat? I just left it there. Her body is well strung and she can hold a pose. Her head is perfect. There are a couple of chips, scrapes, dark marks on her early body that come with age. She comes dressed in a fabulous French looking two piece dress ensemble. It is a bit too small and I had a time getting it off of her and cannot get the jacket over her hands. It is a fully lined beautiful lace and silk with the jacket fully lined. Not sure how anyone could get it over her hands, I have attempted and gotten one hand in but not the other. Rather than ruin the jacket her arms or both or cut it, I will leave it up to whomever buys her. She wears ANTIQUE ALART shoes t hat are in original amazing shape with bows and fasteners in tact. Her synthetic mohair wig is just right for her. I will also insure her. The item “Very Early Unmarked German Doll straight arms & legs.

This is a beautiful early Kestner doll, circa 1882. She also has the very rare early 8 ball jointed body with straight wrists and with original finish. This doll stands approximately 18 high. She has a bisque socket head, brown glass sleep eyes, beautiful painted lashes and brows and closed mouth. This doll also has a beautiful human hair wig, from the same period, although it might not be original. She’s wearing a gorgeous silk antique dress, tight up with a silk lace, all handmade. The dress is in good condition for it’s age only showing a few signs of wear. She’s also wearing an antique underwear skirt, socks and shoes. She is marked on the back of her head with the number 13. Even though this is a rare and breathtakingly beautiful early Kestner doll, she does have two airlines on her forehead, that were professionally repaired, and reflect the more affordable price. Fortunately these are very thin airlines that became virtually invisible since the repair is remarkably well done. You can see on the detail photos I have from this doll how amazingly well done the repair was made. I also added a photo with the light lamp inside the doll’s head so that you can see exactly were the airlines are. People have been asking for a photo of the inside of the doll’s head so I just added one. You hardly can see on the inside of the doll’s head that the doll is damaged because the two airlines are very thin. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Kestner earlier dolls! Please look carefully at all the photos, since they are also part of the description, and ask any question if you need, I’ll be happy to answer.
