Antique 17.5 inch long Kestner lady doll...marked Made in Germany D8 162. Lovely bisque porcelain head with brown glass rocker eyes. *Her head does have a large chip along the bottom of socket...note close-up photos. Her ball jointed composition body has detached arms and a leg so she will need to be restrung. Looks like her original wig and pate is still attached inside wig.
She has her original corset, underdress, undershirt, pantaloons, stockings and shoes...all of which have not been removed for a full body condition inspection though I did not feel any cracks or dents underneath. Unsure if original though she has a sweet old 2 piece cotton-sateen type fabric dress with lace and beaded details along the neckline. She was also found with the little knit gloves and black cotton-sateen umbrella with wood and celluloid handle.
Her porcelain head has some discoloration and residue along top from wig. The body has some scratches and discoloration with age. There are some nicks to her fingers and one looks like has a repair. There is some spotting to her underclothes with tears to her silk ribbons and some tiny holes to her pantaloons. The dress has some overall discoloration, stains and fraying and wear to the waist ties...some bead loss along neckline. The shoes have some chips to the black finish The gloves have some holes and the umbrella has broken/detached pieces along the spikes.
She will be packed very securely with all parts wrapped and head stuffed and eyes secured for shipping.
