S&H 1279

Emily Hart, Grandmaster of Dollmaking, presents:

Adorable smiling German Doll originally by Simon & Halbig, Germany, circa 1915 Authentic Antique Reproduction

Originally made in Germany by Simon & Halbig and marked 1279 this charming doll was made during the early 1900's

This lovely doll has the following features:

Extra Fine China painting done in December of 2013, applied in up to 6 layers with firings in between

“Fredricka” has four porcelain teeth, with felt tongue. Her name came from the Byron mold.

She features finest Antique Reproduction paperweight eyes by Hand Glass Craft of England in pure "Grey" color... truly beautiful eyes with fabulous threading.

Although these eyes are not the kind the Antique doll would have had, and are more costly, I chose to use them for their beauty in this case.

Necklace of the most exquisite Genuine Swarovski Crystals in pink color.

As with all Authentic reproductions her head was poured in finest white porcelain

She features a very fine HUMAN HAIR WIG extra-long with bangs and ringlets, in Auburn color perfectly matching her eyebrow tone. These wigs are no longer available and I only have a very few of them.

This doll is on an eighteen-inch fifteen-piece ball-jointed German Reproduction composition body by Seeley’s.

This costume is a ONE OF A KIND entirely made by Emily Hart. The fabric is the ultimate quality pure Dupionni Silk and embellishes with fine Guipure rayon laces. The front bodice is hand-beaded by Emily with tiny glass beads. The bodice of the dress is lined with same silk as the dress, with Emily’s label sewn inside.

Undergarments of bloomers and full petticoat with tucks are 100% cotton batiste fabric and trimmed with reproduction French Valenciennes laces, and sewn with French seams.

The socks are hand knitted silk/rayon and shoes are fancy German Reproduction shoes in finest genuine leather made in Italy….

This doll stands 23.5 inches.
