    Description

    This listing is for an antique FLAPPER style half doll.
    Made in Germany and marked "Foreign" on the inside of the base
    She comes from my private collection.
    This half doll is in excellent antique condition.
    NO chips, cracks, repairs. Please view all photos.
    Circa 1920's
    Her mohair wig is new and made from the finest Mohair. She came to me "bald" and was in need of a brand new Mohair wig. Making Mohair wigs is an art in and of itself and requires patience and talent. We used only the finest Mohair when designing this little lady her new hairstyle.
    She also wears a stylish hat that I have accented with antique French Rococo trim, antique Victorian gold filigree and antique pearl flower stamens.
    She looks as though she is getting ready for a lunch date or maybe a day of shopping.
    This half doll is 4 inches in height.
    This half doll has exceptional mold detail. You can find others from the same mold but it is easy to tell which ones were produced by a quality manufacturer by the detail within the mold and the quality of hand painting and craftsmanship.
    She is an "arms away returning" style half doll.
    She has a molded necklace and bangle bracelets that have been hand painted with gold gilt.
    References to this wonderful collectible half doll may be found in several collector's reference books.
    Two such examples can be found on Page 299 in "The Collector's Encyclopedia of Half Dolls" by Freida Marion and Norma Werner. Another is on page 78 in "The Half-Doll Price Guide" by Sally Van Luven and Susan Graham.
    This lovely antique piece has been hand painted. She has expressive blue eyes short dark brown hair. (Mohair)
    The colors are vibrant and the artist work is exceptional.
    Her bodice is a vibrant green and she has a red collar with a purple tie.
    I have designed her hat to compliment her bodice.
    She would make a beautiful addition to any collection and would also make a stunning pincushion doll.
