This Kestner #154 doll stands at 21 inches and features a bisque head with painted facial features, signature open mouth with teeth, and sleep blue glass eyes. She is dressed in appropriate period-style clothing including a white cotton dress and apron, undergarments, stockings, and lace-up boots. The doll's newly styled brown wig is paired with her restored attire. Her body is a classic kid leather jointed form, with visible wear, age-related soiling to the cloth lower legs, and some discoloration. Despite minor condition issues typical for her age, this Kestner #154 remains a well-preserved example with replaced wig and carefully curated garments. May have had some restorative efforts. **Shipping Notice: Due to the delicate nature of the doll's sleep eye mechanism, any shipped doll will arrive with the wig and skull cap removed, and the eyes secured to help minimize the risk of damage during transit. Please expect this if you require shipping. Because of the additional time and care required to prepare the doll for safe shipment, an additional handling fee may apply. These dolls are exceptionally fragile, and while we take the greatest care in packing and securing every item, shipping always carries an inherent risk. By requesting shipping, you acknowledge and accept the possibility of damage that may occur during transit.
