BLACK BISQUE HEADED BABY DOLL BY ARMAND MARSEILLE
Circa 1926 
with closing brown 'sleep' eyes, short lashes
 
painted features and composition body and limbs
 
50cm (19.5") long

This adorable AM baby is in lovely condition.  No cracks to head. Only minor damage is hidden inside neck where the neck stem has been chipped.  Externally this baby is lovely.  However, there is a rattle coming from inside his/her head. (Please see photos). 

Baby is dressed in a genuine vintage 100% cotton and lace vintage baby petticoat and a matching 100% cotton with rayon lace trimmed baby dress with a later bonnet.  All fingers and toes present. Beautiful.

NB: I always ensure that delicate items are packaged with care and attention, boxed with plenty of bubble wrap & polystyrene chips to ensure a safe journey.
