Description
12" (30 cm.) A bisque swivel-head doll depicting a young lady with bisque shoulder plate, blue enamel eyes, closed mouth, painted lashes and brows, pierced ears, blonde mohair wig, carton torso and hinged legs, and bisque hands is pushing a three-wheeled fancy metal doll carriage with spoked wheels and sunshade. Inside the carriage is an all-bisque mignonette with blue glass eyes, swivel head, jointed limbs, and blonde mohair wig. Condition: bisque, structure and presentation excellent, mechanism needs adjustment. Comments: Vichy, Paris, circa 1875, when the attached Vichy key is wound, the girl is designed to walk briskly along, thus pushing the carriage. Value Points: the rare toy presents a charming scene, each doll wearing its original well-detailed silk costume, with beautiful faces, perfect bisque hands on lady.
