Buyer's Premium:

A large-scale collector’s bride doll featuring a bisque porcelain head and lower limbs. The facial features include painted lips and fixed inset eyes, which currently exhibit a cloudy white opacity. The dark brown synthetic hair is styled into ringlets with a centre parting. The doll is dressed in an ornate, multi-layered cream bridal ensemble. The dress is constructed from satin-effect fabric with lace ruffles, orange-gold sequinned floral motifs, and applied fabric rosebuds. The outfit includes a full-length tulle veil secured with a ribbon bow and a lace floral accessory tied to the right hand. Factory protective plastic remains present around the neck area and cord ties are still attached to the wrists. No manufacturer marks are visible on the exposed porcelain sections.

Dimensions: Approximately 60cm – 75cm in length.
