23” ANTIQUE TURNED SHOULDER BLACK HAIR CHINA HEAD DOLL Here is a nice, large old antique china head doll. Her black hair is worn in the low brow style of the 1890’s and she is unusual in that the head is turned slightly to the right; most dolls were made with heads facing straight forward. There are some head rubs of the paint and that is normal wear and tear for a doll that had been used for play. The face is beautifully painted with single stroke eyebrows, blue eyes with black lash line and red lid line. The cheeks are nicely blushed and the coral mouth has small oval lip. The chest plate is unmarked – many dolls of the period were not marked, but she has the appearance of most German china heads. The head has four attachment holes but is glued to replacement muslin body. It was not at all unusual for dolls of this period to start life with one body and end with another as damage occurred. This body has replacement arms – the upper arms are soft stuffed and hands are elegant china woman’s hands. She is dressed in vintage textiles – black dress with clusters of roses and fabulous old tatting on the bodice and sleeves; cotton petticoat with lace trim, batiste pantalettes with embroidered edging, cotton socks and contemporary leather shoes with rosettes & pearl over the instep.
