This is an antique German Armand Marseille bisque socket-head doll, measuring 18 inches tall. It features a fully jointed composition body and retains a visible pull-string at the waist, revealing it was originally equipped with an internal mechanical sound or crier mechanism, though it is not currently in working condition. The doll has a replaced black wig and a possible paired or restored head and body. It is dressed in an elaborate period-style costume, complete with detailed jacket, skirt, lace details, undergarments, stockings, and shoes. A rare example of German doll craftsmanship, the costume and replaced hair offer a distinctive display presence, and the body shows typical wear for a restored or paired antique. **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.
