SET OF 8 ANTIQUE CHINA
HEAD DOLLS offered by my Dear
Friend Linda...
The Antique
China Head Dolls
are fourth
generation in
her family and
originally were
made for
her maternal
great-grandmother
when she was a
young girl. They
have been
well-cared for
and stored for
the past 50 plus
years. The set
includes 8
dolls: Bride,
Groom,
Bridesmaid of
Honor,
Bridesmaids (3),
Mother-of-the-Bride,
and Flower Girl.
(3 of the dolls
are considered
very
SCARCE)
The Porcelain China heads are late 19th Century (Circa 1890's). The boy (groom) and the two
blond haired dolls are EXTREMELY RARE as compared to the black haired China dolls. The bride
is blond-haired and wears a lovely off-white (satin or silk) dress with a train; exquisite lace front
with costume jewels; holds a bouquet of tiny colorful flowers. She wears a lace head piece and veil
with a beautiful flower-designed longer lace train that is in very good condition.
The heads, arms, and legs were probably ordered and the costumes and bodies are hand-made
for a little girl at the time (Linda's great-grandmother). All dolls are 6 1/4 inches tall. The costumes are
period to the dolls and very ELABORATE. The dresses feature silk, lace, satin, wool, and extremely
intricate trim made of small flowers, beads, and several dolls have bead necklaces. All of the dresses
of the dolls are unique and in very good condition.
Note: The groom doll head (black hear shows a small spot of white) and the mother-of-the-bride in the
black and white outfit shows some wear on the right side of her black hair (white marks). The doll in the
short light-purple dress has a very small nick on one shoe. The maid-of-honor wearing the peach-colored
dress with the train has three small stains on the train that are not noticeable from the front view. Damage
to the black dress is depicted in the photo - sadly the smocking has come undone. Feel free to ask for additional photos or information.
All dolls have
the insignia

base of their
heads. Appraised
