Exhibiting pure charm is this eleven-inch Tuck Comb Wooden Peddler, circa 1830. A product of the Grodnertal, the hard-working entrepreneur boasts delicate painting on her turned and carved head. Of the variety that features a wood articulated body (repair to one hand), she wears an original ensemble, which includes a black wool cloak. Finally, her tray of assorted goods is well stocked and attractively arranged.
This peddler is a true professional!

We are particular about the Grodner Tal Woodens we select to offer our collector friends -- they must have pleasant faces and this one exceeds our standards with flying colors. Highlights of this petite beauty, who stands four and one-half inches tall overall, include a turned and carved wooden head with glowing original paint, delicate wisps of hair at the temples, and beautifully blushed cheeks.
The wooden articulated body is strong and the arms hold a pose very nicely. The empire waist dress is beyond elegant, hand sewn, and is composed of an under layer of off-white satin, an over layer of palest blue gauze that is very tender and lacking in places, and finally fine metallic trim that dances around the hemline and decorates the wired wings that are an unusual part of this very theatrical costume.
A truly lovely wooden doll.

27" China, a gorgeous model who we attribute to the firm of Alt, Beck & Gottschalck. Details include a very pretty shoulderhead (note piece on the back edge of plate that has been re-glued) with lovely coloring, facial features, and a mop of black curly hair.
On a cloth body with sewn-in red stockings and boots, it is fitted with leather arms.
This lovely young lady wears a fantastic, period, bustled promenade ensemble of navy blue wool with a coordinating panel of navy silk faille. Deep burgundy silk tape acts as piping upon both pieces, while a row of brass buttons decorates the front of the jacket.
A handsome china example who wears an equally handsome presentation.

Can you say "blue ribbon winner?" Well, it might be a good idea to practice, because we truly believe this doll is a contender. Details of this exquisite twenty-one inch French Papier-mache include a near flawless complexion, delicately painted features, inset pupil-less glass eyes in large eyecuts, and an original hand-wefted human hair wig that is not only second to none, it is styled in the lovely manner that Young Victoria herself might appreciate.
On an excelsior-stuffed cloth body, we love her blue leather arms (with individually stuffed fingers) that emulate long gloves.
She wears a marvelous wool dress with a woven grid pattern that provides a spot of color, while a black silk apron will help her keep it clean.
A fabulous example for those who like to buy the best.

Glorious may just be the perfect word to describe this magnificent piece of religious art. Housed under a presentation case of gilt paper and hand-rolled glass since the dawn of the nineteenth-century, the case performed its duties well. The condition of this altar piece is pristine. Upon the silk velvet bed with gilt paper trim and gold metal decoration-silken bedding with delicate embroidery, rests a wax figure of The Child upon an embroidered pillow. The figure is dressed in a gown of silk with further embroidery and is protected under a canopy of fabric woven from silver threads-gold bullion tassels and passementerie add dimension. A crown of incredible paper flowers finishes the piece.
Case measures: 21-1/4" tall, 11" deep, 17-1/2" wide.

"Millicent"

 

 

 

 

As smartly dressed as any of those fancy French Huret dolls, is Millicent – a sweet nineteen-inch Motschmann. Style is the key word here and Millicent is loaded with it! Special features include sleep-eyes and a solid dome papier-mâché head with painted wisps of “hair” under her curly lamb wig. She retains a lovely paint finish and what a cute body! Please click here for a view.
Millicent’s presentation is classic, with the jumper-style dress worn over an incredible cotton blouse that features hand stitching and cutwork. The matching silk velvet bolero jacket is a darling addition, but the curly lamb muff and hat put Millicent on the best-dressed list of 1860!
