Angie: This is a rare early 18 inch Kestner with the mark J or F on the perfect head, a turned head. The sleep eyes work beautifully and are brown, pink lids are so sweet; the shoulder head is in perfect shape with no chips cracks or rubs on the doll. She is named Angie on the tag is from 1880’s but most likely made in the late 1890’s with a lovely original good condition kid leather body that has working joints with no leaks, the doll is fully dressed in four layers of fine lace, batiste, and silk. She has on hand made leather kid boots and possesses tiny buttons 4 of them. The sweet doll has silk stockings and a lace bonnet which is enchanting. The underdress is all hand made as is the silk afternoon walking coat dress. A perfect doll for the discriminating doll collector. I love the style of the dress too, with the piping running down each side and all the lace, such perfection.

We are pleased to be able to offer this. Stunning Extremely Rare Early Victorian Silver & faux TORTOISESHELL Carved Dogs Head Mounted Ladies Purse. I would estimate this rare purse dates to circa 1850 making it nearly 170 years old, this beautiful Victorian purse is crafted in faux Tortoiseshell with curved edges giving it a wonderful tactile feel, the colours are beautiful with rich deep oranges and browns creating such a superb effect, to the front it is mounted with the most beautiful yet unique very special carved dog head image, this is so very rare and has the most amazing detail, from the dogs very life like unusual eyes, his detailed nose and his very beautiful long hair, I would say this must be a female dog as the dog has a lovely bow to the top of her head, I have never seen a carved dog head like this ever, its so very rare, on the other side is a solid silver cartouche, the hinges work well and I believe are a white metal, the quality of the craftsmanship is superb, this would have once belonged to a wealthy Victorian Lady and been used on many an occasion, many years ago when things were so very different, this would have been a talking point as it is so unusual and rare, my photos really don’t do it justice, you will not find another like this on the market. Circa 1850, though maybe earlier. 7 cm by 5 cm. The condition for its age is lovely, just one small pin missing, there is no clasp for closing, though it appear there never was a clasp, there is just a little spring back when closed, that being said it doesnt detractat all from its rare beauty, just mentioned for accuracy. Please study the photos as these form an integral part of the description. An unquestionably exquisite and fine addition for any uncompromising collector or as a display piece. A final few words. We welcome customers from the UK and across the globe. We are regularly adding interesting and quality new items and would be really happy if you could. We hope to do business together soon.

” price a BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE 7″ MILLINER’S MODEL DOLL WITH RARE HEAD! A SUPERB EXAMPLE of her type, this wonderful early doll with a PAPER MACHE head in a hard to find mold is a lovely model with distinctive appeal; you will love her ORIGINAL PRESENTATION! A suitable diminutive size for a larger scale DOLLHOUSE or ROOM BOX vignette, we can envision creating an 1840’s parlor or kitchen scene around this fabulous early doll, as she wears a two piece ensemble consisting of a tunic style blouse of a eggplant purple silk moire fabric with black velvet collar, and contrasting long black silk skirt, both appearing original to her! Please note that the purple sheen on the fabric is more aged in front where the material was most likely exposed to light than the back of her top which is a little brighter in color. The doll herself has a beautiful early hand painted PAPER MACHE face and shoulder plate with black sculpted hair, and painted features including greenish-blue eyes, dramatic black arched eyebrows, subtly blushed cheeks and dainty red lips. There is age related wear to the paint on her hair and areas on her face including her nose, but the paint is original to her and did not want to compromise her charming originality by having her features modified in any way! Her MILLINERS MODEL type body consists of a leather torso with beautifully sculpted WOODEN arms and hands with delicately carved fingers, and carved wooden lower limbs with red painted tops and purple boots. Please note that there is a professional touch-up to the painting on her boots and reinforcement to the leather on her body and have shown a picture of her legs depicting an example of the professional work that was done. In our opinion, the minor restoration work done to her and age related paint wear do not detract from her overall CHARMING PRESENTATION, considering the fact she is about 175 years old! Any other doll or accessory items used for display are not included in this offering, unless otherwise specified. THANK YOU for LOOKING and GOOD LUCK!

The pipe tomahawk is in excellent condition with no repairs or damage. Spontoon style head patterned after the pike heads of the Spanish Conquistadors and explorers. Nice head forged from the barrel of a gun. Octagonal barrel and rifling inside. Looking closely, you will see the seam where the hardened bit was forged in to the shoulder of the tomahawk, commonly called a lap weld or lap seam. A good sign of authenticity and age. Walnut wood haft is original to the head. The brass tacks are original old square shank tacks. All along the haft are many ceremonial file branding marks made by placing a file or rasp in the fire until it was bright red and then burning the file into the haft. This was done for aesthetic “looks” and ceremonial purposes. There is a drilled hole for attaching drops or beads. The head is ever so slightly loose, the result of the wood drying and shrinking over the course of 170 years. A hide or leather gasket is seen between the eye and head. VERY NICE patina all over, really shows its age! The unusual style head is very desirable. Conservatively dated to 1780 but may be earlier. The haft of the tomahawk is measuring 21.5″ long and the head is measuring about 8.5″ long. Please ask any questions you may have. Thank you so much for looking!

Sadly having to part with my beloved rocking-horse. Over twenty years with me. Extensive and painstaking restoration has revealed what is left of the original paintwork, with wonderful patination to the neck where years of childrens hands have rubbed. Some original leatherwork remains, but most is antiqued replacement, very sympathetically done. Most of one ear is missing, but was done such a long time ago I decided to leave it alone rather than have it cut about. Made by FH Ayres, the most sought after maker, and is without doubt one of the very first swing stand horses ever made. The horse has a lovely turn to the head. 40 inches to highest part of neck. Would be classed as a medium sized horse. Stand has replacement posts and cross-braces, the rest is original, along with the beautifully carved runner ends. Horse would have had saddle pommels, but I did not bother to replace these. Please note this is an ANTIQUE and piece of objet d’art, NOT a TOY. The photos don’t do it justice at all. Price is not negotiable. We are located in Norfolk, not far from Banham Zoo. The item “RARE EARLY ANTIQUE FH AYRES TURNED HEAD EXTRA CARVED ROCKING HORSE CIRCA 1880″ is in sale since Friday, February 28, 2020. This item is in the category “Toys & Games\Vintage & Classic Toys\Rocking Horses”. The seller is “brynhild42″ and is located in Norwich. This item can’t be shipped, the buyer must pick up the item.

Original Antique Doll – Made in Germany. Bisque Socket Head / Composition Body / Plaster Pate – Stands Approx. 17″ Tall – Marked: “C” (only) Here is a very rare find, a precious Kestner-made “C doll. That is her only identifying mark, aside from her plaster pate. According to experts in the field, Kestner made this head mold with just the large incised “C” for a Cassel doll company in Sonneberg, Germany. This little cabinet girl is 17 of pure charm, and I fell in love with her at first sight! She has a such an innocent expression of wonder, with delicate and artistically executed facial painting. She has her original sparkling blue eyes, antique plaster pate, and a very long & silky honey-blond (replaced) human hair wig. She has pierced ears with tiny coral-color earrings, and a lovely diminutive mouth with all original teeth. Her beautiful antique German body has its all-original patina, with wear only to the paint on her fingers. I believe the body is original to this doll. She is wearing a stunning and elaborate antique outfit, with lovely lace, ribbon, and floral embellishments. Her antique undergarments are precious, and she is wearing very pretty crocheted off-white lace socks with tan leather shoes. Unsigned Doll: We confidently attribute this doll to J. Kestner as one of their early works. But, as with any attribution, what you are getting is a professional opinion. Thank you for your understanding. Beautiful antique condition — from a non-smoking environment. She has one tiny kiln crack behind her right ear (final photo), but no other issues noticed with the bisque after careful examination. Also, no facial blemishes or cheek rubs. IMPORTANT: Besides the noteworthy issues mentioned above, EXPECT any antique doll (bisque/composition/leather/china/wood) to ALSO have: (1) SIGNS OF AGE – for example: toned/crazed/chipped composition, minor wig pulls, loss of “hair” lashes on bisque heads (if they had them), not-so-tight stringing, etc. (2) MINOR CONSERVATION WORK by previous owners/collectors – for example: reset eyes in most cases! , repairs to wig, repairs to clothing, touch-ups on composition/finish/paint, etc. Any MAJOR issues — hairline crack, total repaint, etc. – would be itemized above, but these normal age/conservation details are not. They are to be expected. I’LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER. If you live in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, or U. These countries have more flexible Priority Post options, but it depends on the size and value of the item you’re purchasing. And provided the items can travel safely in the same box. Opens in a separate window/tab. As often happens, it’s the few bad apples out there who ruin it for the rest of us. Not knowing what they’re doing. And then, when they realize they’ve ruined the doll, they return it saying it was defective. BUT HAVING SAID ALL THAT.. I do bend over backwards, attempting to disclose any noteworthy condition issues I can find or think of. But these are antique and vintage dolls — so, please understand that they won’t be in brand-new condition. There will always be some minor indication of their age, and it would be impossible to itemize every single pinhead-size stain on the outfit, or hairline scratch on the body. Please expect these types of conditions with old dolls. IT CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
