Antique Beauty

This is abeautifulantique doll with glazed china head and stuffed cloth body, sitting in an old windsor chair (included, unsure of age). I believe she was made in Germanyaround the mid to late 1800s. The back of shoulders seems only to be marked with a mold number \"7,\" though I haven\'t removed her sewn-on clothes to have a thorough look. She has molded, black painted hair in the \"flat top\" style. Her face is exquisite; sweetly blushing cheeks, and delicate painted details on face: slender arched eyebrows, lidded blue eyes, rosebud lips. I assume this is her original body - cloth torso and limbs stuffed with mohair (I believe) and limbs that were once (now only partially) kid leather. She wears several layers of undergarments -pantaloons and slip and a long printed cotton dress with lace trim.

Her head is in very good condition, with only light scuffs and wear to the paint. Her body has some loose and/or open seams, and some discoloration. One leather hand is tattered, the other is completely gone. Her leather boots are pretty much gone, as is one cloth foot. Her dress is yellowed, extremely fragile and shredded in spots. She was found at an estate sale sitting in the chair, which is included in the sale. She measures about 22\" tall and would be a complement to any collection.
