When wound, the doll turns its head side to side and then nods, while alternately fanning herself, and sniffing the nosegay of flowers which she holds; all the while music plays. Condition: generally excellent, music and mechanism function well. Marks: Depose Tete Jumeau Bte SGDG 4 (head). Comments: Leopold Lambert, circa 1890. Value Points: beautiful doll wears fine original silk and lace costume, carries hand-painted bone fan and silk flowers.
