We can count on one hand the number of times we have offered a Grodnertal Wooden with her original trousseau, so we are especially pleased to offer the one shown here.
Details of the nine-inch doll include a very pretty turned and carved wood head that is complete with a yellow comb, plus she has lovely painting that includes blue eyes, blushed cheeks, darling wisps around her face, and do not miss her pierced ears.
The body is of the variety that is fully articulated, with jointing at the hips knees, shoulders and elbows and she "wears" red-painted slippers on her feet.
Housed in a wonderful wooden box that is covered in faux bois paper, is the lady's wardrobe that includes four two-piece ensembles plus separates, a variety of lovely hats and a quilted mattress.
An abundantly charming package.

Thank you, J.

18" Wigged China, that is sometimes referred to as a "Biedermeier" due to a black painted spot upon the top of the head. Further details include a perfect and gorgeous shoulderhead, beautifully painted facial features including even lips, and a marvelous mohair wig in an elegant style that is secured by a lace snood.
On an old leather body in good condition, this lovely lady wears a glorious ball gown – an exquisite creation in cream silk with magnificent black lace and yards of garnet silk ribbon decoration.
Two very nice bonuses are her party mask she "carries" in one hand, and the paper calling card she holds in her left hand.
She is ready and willing to have her dance card filled to overflowing!
