Very lovely 18” German beauty dressed as a bride in old creamy white silk. She has the wonderful closed mouth face with blue glass stationery eyes and what appears to be her original human hair wig. This doll belongs to a long time collector friend that says she was sold by Theriault’s. No markings that I have discovered, but she is attributed to Alt, Beck and Gottschalck. Dome head in beautiful condition with sweet dimple in her chin.
She has a shoulder head on nice leather body. Her head is looking slightly to the right. Pretty for posing.
Right arm has been nicely repaired as shown. All bisque in very good condition. Someone has made her a pink satin bra and undies. Then she has a pretty slip under the silk wedding gown with tiny buttons and some beadwork. Old lace for a veil. She appears to be wearing her original or very old shoes. Her wig is quite long and a bit thin. See pictures. She is really nice and just has that look!
