Marked fixed head and shoulder doll, distinguished by a 'J' mark on the back of the bisque head. Possibly Jumeau or Jeanson. The doll exhibits fixed brown glass eyes and an open mouth showing teeth, capturing a classic, expressive look typical of German or French doll makers. The arms require repair, as visible in the photos, with some textile wear at the joints. The body is constructed with a composition torso and lower limbs, and the doll is dressed in an elaborate period-style satin gown with lace trim, matching hat, undergarments, stockings, and reproduction black shoes. This example reflects turn-of-the-century doll crafting, with lifelike facial detailing and period-appropriate attire. The fixed head and shoulder design alongside the 'J' mark makes it a collectible item for enthusiasts of antique dolls and historical toys. Unknown maker. **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.
