Gentle appearance and pleasing to the eye, the soft colors used to appeal to the Victorian child remain appealing. Up for your consideration is a Sonneberg-Type Papier-Mache Shoulder-Head Doll with molded blond hair and features which are varnished. Her period of creation most likely occured around 1880 give or take 10 years. This Superior Type doll's facial paint is excellent and has semi-exposed ears. Shoulder-head is varnished and unmarked. She is approximately 19.5 inches (50 cm) in length. She has cracks and chips, mostly in the back of the hair and to the left side of her hair. The shoulder-head has a crack down the left side of her neck and at the base of her throat which is not very noticable. The photographs show her years of wear. The body is possibly original to the doll and the only repair noted is to the arm as shown. One arm stuffed is missing a lower arm and hand. Old and appropriate clothing including half slip and pantaloons. Her boots are sewn on and in tattered shape. No odor and in a smoke-free home.
