Antique Jenny Lind Fancy Hair With Bun china Head, For Antique China Doll

Description

I am listing some of my collection of antique china head dolls heads, bodies, and parts this week, please look at my other auctions if you are interested in China head dolls. The restoration company in our area has closed and I know of none in the area who does this work. I will combine shipping, and all these auctions start at to insure they find a new home.
My goal is to have happy customers and clean out some of the clutter of 50+ years of collecting.
Please look carefully at the photos and read the descriptions, I will accept returns if I have in anyway misrepresented an item.
Thanks for viewing, and good luck to all!
This auction is for an antique china doll head, often called a Jenny Lind for her hair style, a small head for a cabinet size doll, 1860’s with a lovely face and fancy hair.
For the size of the head she
has a well painted face, very serine and stately, with her hair swept up and out from her face and coiled into a large bun in the center back.
This fragment measures 1 3/8” and is very heavy, and what is there is in good shape.
Minimal black paint loss on the hair, fine white hair line part on the top of her head, red dots in corner of eye red line over the eye and red nostril dots with good cheek coloring and blue eyes. She will make a nice doll once restored with a new shoulder plate and a good example of a popular collector’s doll.
I have lots of Jenny Lind photos in my reference books but none are as small as this one, however the shoulder shape should be the same as on the larger dolls.
Let me know if you need a photocopy for your restoration artist. Please note that the photo showing the top of her head #5, the white is just glare from my camera not paint loss.
