Antique Heinrich Handwerck Simon & Halbig on Ant Marked German Compo Body

Description: Step into a world of antique charm with this lovely 22-inch German bisque and composition doll by the renowned Heinrich Handwerck and Simon & Halbig, a treasured find from the early 1900s. Known for their quality craftsmanship, Handwerck and Halbig dolls are prized by collectors for their lifelike features and exceptional detail, and this exquisite beauty is no exception.Her captivating face, crafted in fine bisque, features delicate hand-painted details that have stood the test of time, accented by piercing blue glass sleep eyes that close when she lies down. With her open mouth and visible teeth, she showcases the lifelike expressions that made these dolls so beloved by collectors. Her ears are pierced, adding an elegant detail, though she comes without earrings.She wears a charming vintage-style cotton dress adorned with ruffles down the front and a graceful drop waist, complemented by a rich green velvet jacket trimmed in delicate cotton lace. Her coordinated undergarments, stockings, and suede boots complete her outfit, making her a display-ready treasure. Her newer medium brown wig falls in soft curls around her shoulders, enhancing her timeless appeal and offering a lovely contrast to her fair complexion.Though her composition body, marked Germany for authenticity, shows signs of age with some areas of past repainting, she stands beautifully when posed on a stand or seated on a shelf. A slight bit of wear on her body and head, common for dolls over a century old, does not detract from her charm. Notably, her neck area is stable, although there are some pressure marks likely due to tight stringing in the past, which have been carefully noted for transparency. These aspects only add to her character, as many collectors appreciate the history visible in each unique antique doll. This antique Handwerck and Halbig doll would make an enchanting addition to any collection, offering a window into the artistry and legacy of early 20th-century German dollmaking. Display her in a prominent spot and let her become a treasured heirloom in your collection. The stand shown in the photos is for show only and does not come with the doll.--------------------------------------------Ask pointed questions and ask for additional photos before bidding or purchasing.

These items therefore are being sold as-is and as stated in each listing. We are not experts in all things antique or vintage, and, sad to say, we don't know the history of most of the items we sell. Remember too Antique Items are more than 100 years old and Vintage Items are anywhere between 22 years old to 99 years old. Sometimes age creates issues which we can?t control.Best Advice: Read carefully, look over every photo, ask questions and request more photos or more details about an item?s condition to satisfy yourself that you are purchasing a product you can be proud of and thoroughly enjoy.
