Kestner #226 Large Bisque Head Baby Doll

Updated August 6, 2026

Large Kestner #226 baby doll measuring 19 inches, with a bisque head and a composition body. The head is marked "Made in Germany J.D.K. 226" and includes sleep eyes, open mouth with teeth, and a paired wig. The doll is dressed in a christening style outfit, accompanied by a matching bonnet and additional period undergarments. The bisque head displays painted brows, feathered lashes, and blush cheeks. The body is five-piece jointed composition with naturalistic modeling. This example is in great condition for its age, though it may have had restorations. All original clothing and features are present, as shown. **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.
