Who doesn't love a wooden-bodied China? Besides being rare and lovely, they are wonderful to use in scenes, as they can be posed to sit, stand, hold things – you get the picture. Even better, this nine and one-half inch one, circa 1840, is known as Victoria – a perfect bun china (minor rubs to reverse) with a center part. Beautifully and boldly painted, she possesses a confident, yet elegant expression. $3950.00 |

If we had to assign an identity to this wonderful little German Papier-mache on a classic Milliners model body – she would be "The Garden Fairy" – we're sure you can see why. It might have something to do with the blossom she carries as a staff. In good condition overall, save for a few naturally occurring fractures to the surface of the papier-mache shoulderhead, the real marvel is this doll's original costume – she glitters, as a real fairy should! Measures: 6 1/2" tall $995.00 |

Her sweet gauzy cotton dress features printed pink rose buds with exquisite green trim which was used at the hem, bodice at cuffs. Antique under things are a nice detail, as well. |

For some reason, the expression "sugar and spice and everything nice" comes to mind when gazing upon this beautiful young lady – an all-original, continental, poured-wax who stands fourteen and one-half inches tall.

In addition, her wig is among the finest we have seen – it is glorious! She also features pierced ears, and we'll do our best to fit her with an appropriate pair of earrings before we send her to you. |
