Antique German Heinrich Handwerck Shoulder Head ~ marked Hch 0 H on Ant Kid Body

Description: Step back into the golden age of doll craftsmanship with this exquisite 21-inch antique German Handwerck bisque shoulder head doll, a masterpiece of 19th-century artistry. Impeccably marked with the Handwerck Factory’s signature horseshoe and the mold number "Hch 0 H," this doll stands as a testament to the meticulous skill of its creators.Her delicate bisque shoulder head is in flawless condition, firmly attached to a wonderfully preserved antique German kid body with detailed leg gussets. This exquisite doll boasts bisque hands, also free from any imperfections, adding to her overall charm and authenticity. Her face is a vision of loveliness, with finely painted eyebrows surrounding bright blue glass eyes, delicately drawn upper and lower eyelashes, and blushed cheeks that radiate warmth. The rose-tinted lips, accented eyes and nose, and the sweet dimple in her chin enhance her endearing expression. Her open mouth reveals upper teeth, a rare and captivating detail that adds to her lifelike presence. Adorning her head is a beautiful wig of soft blonde hair, styled in bangs and cascading shoulder-length curls, framing her face in timeless elegance. This Handwerck doll is dressed in a magnificent vintage-made outfit that complements her historical significance. Her costume features eyelet lace-edged bloomers and a full slip adorned with delicate ribbon embellishments. The velvet gown she wears is a deep, rich color, accented with metallic and lace-embroidered ribbon at the neckline and skirt, exuding opulence and grandeur. To add a touch of sophistication, she is draped in a luxurious fur stole, which could very well be mink (I’m not an expert here but the fur is soft, stable and beautifully tailored). Completing her ensemble are lacy stockings and soft cloth tie-up shoes, a perfect nod to the fashion of her era. This stunning Handwerck doll is not just a beautiful display piece but a treasured artifact that brings the past to life. Her impeccable condition and detailed costume make her a worthy addition to any serious antique doll collection. Whether you’re an avid collector or new to the world of antique dolls, this charming figure is sure to captivate your heart and become a cherished centerpiece 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. We take pride in providing you with up to 24 full color photos, a 30-45 sec video on a turn table and a detailed description of the item you will receive.Thanks for choosing to shop with us!
