An antique doll featuring a ceramic head and arms and legs made of wood pulp, characterised by a delicate expression and painted details typical of late‑19th‑ to early‑20th‑century production. The ceramic face includes hand‑painted eyebrows, red‑orange lips, and small visible teeth, elements that give the doll a realistic appearance highly appreciated by collectors.
The sleeping eyes, which open and close depending on the doll’s position, add further historical and technical value, as this mechanism is one of the most sought‑after features in antique dolls.
The arms and legs are made of wood pulp, a material commonly used in period dolls and known for its durability. The doll is dressed in traditional light fabric clothing, complete with a petticoat and knitted socks, which help preserve the authenticity of the ensemble. Overall condition is good, with normal signs of age and a visible crack on the face, as shown in the photographs. This does not compromise the head's stability but attests to the piece's age and history.
This doll is an ideal collectible for enthusiasts of antique toys, vintage décor, or historical set design, thanks to its original materials, functioning eye mechanism, and authentic aesthetic charm.
