Simon & Halbig

28" Simon & Halbig child marked S16H 759 DEP. Details of this seldom found character child in an even more seldom found extra-large size include a perfect head with gorgeous bisque tone and painting, early out of the mold modeling, fabulous rich brown paperweight eyes, an open mouth with teeth, pierced ears and a spectacular antique mohair wig in a lovely blonde shade.
Her straight-wrist, jointed composition body is in remarkable condition and isn't she beautifully costumed? The dress, in polka-dot and floral-printed chiffon is as fresh as a summer day, and the lace utilized is beyond luxurious.
An adorable character in an impressive size – really now, what could be better?

Armand Marseille's
"Fany"

Most of the versions of Armand Marseille's "Fany" we have handled in the past have been small models. Take note big doll collectors, this Fany stands twenty-three inches tall! Features include a fully marked head bearing the mold number 231 and A. 9 M., gorgeous dewy bisque, blue glass sleep eyes, and a cute blond mohair wig.
On a chunky generic toddler body with some repaint, (although beautifully done), Fany is a vision in playful red. She wears a red polka-dot dress with a ruched bertha collar and white tape trim, while red stockings, antique red leather shoes and a red satin hair bow complete the presentation.
In case you didn't know, Fany's face is based on a seventeenth-century sculpture by the Flemish artist François Duquesnois – proving the worlds of fine art and playthings do sometimes overlap.
