Carmel Doll Shop -Early Dolls-


Small only in stature is this Frozen Charlotte in a very fancy dress. Details include a classic black-painted hairstyle, nicely painted features and gold luster boots. Great in a dollhouse! Measures: 4-1/8" tall. SOLD Thank you, J.


This piece, more art than doll, should be displayed in that manner – artful. Actually a nineteenth-century, Italian, carved wood marionette, this gentleman depicts a commedia del' arte figure. Impressive at thirty six inches tall, he is jointed in all the right places to enable very fluid movements. The carving details upon his expressive face are remarkable – the mask and beard, expertly done, and the glass eyes – very realistic in blown glass with blue irises. This fellow, who has a body composed of stuffed cotton and carved wood components, with screw eyes remaining here and there that used to give strings an anchoring point, wears a red silk velvet costume with a long black coat over it. Wool stockings and leather slippers complete the look. He is ready to take the stage! $2500.00


Like his companion above, a nineteenth-century, Italian, carved wood marionette, this handsome young gentleman depicts a commedia del' arte figure. Standing an impressive thirty six inches tall, he is jointed in all the right places to enable very fluid movements. The carving details upon his expressive face are remarkable – the mask and other details are expertly done, and the glass eyes – very realistic in blown glass with brown irises. This fellow, who has a body composed of stuffed cotton and carved wood components, with screw eyes remaining here and there that used to give strings an anchoring point, wears a four-piece cotton costume with green wool rope as decoration. Painted stockings and carved wood shoes complete the look. So much artful expression – and great for display in the right shop or home. $2500.00

	Lady Hamley

It isn't every day one comes across an English Wax with such presence, but we feel fortunate this one came our way. Standing twenty-six inches tall, features include a wax shoulderhead (stable fracture across throat that is disguised by her ribbon choker) with inset pale blue glass eyes, lovely coloring and the most incredible head of long, rich brown, inserted human hair that we have ever seen! Her lovely hairstyle was created using all of her own hair, as opposed to the practice of using hair pieces to supplement it. On a cloth body that bears a Hamleys, Regent St. London stamp, she is fitted with lovely wax limbs. Dressed in the manner for being presented at court, her magnificent gown is of burgundy silk velvet with lace applique, while the train consists of rows of cream and burgundy silk, terminating in even more luxurious burgundy silk velvet. Floral accents scattered upon the dress and Prince of Wales plumes in her hair are the finishing touches to this work of art in wax. Please click here to view details "au naturel" $3200.00



7-1/4" rare, miniature turned shoulderhead Parian with the most endearing expression. With lovely molded blond hair, this petite child boasts expert painting of her mouth and blue eyes.

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. A very beautiful child who would be right at home in your early dollhouse. Please click here to view "au naturel" details $595.00



Definitely a cousin to the Mottschmann, but "once or twice removed", is this extra-sweet early German composition Baby. Measuring five and one-quarter inches long, this child's body engineering can be clearly seen on the detail page, but the shoulderhead does bear very nice details such as pretty painted blue eyes, a very nice mouth and brows and the extremely delicately painted tufts of hair like his Mottschmann family members typically receive. Beautifully costumed as an infant in cream cotton with cutwork plus a matching cap, this happy baby also has a working squeaker mounted in his mid-section – a small miracle – like the doll itself!
