16" Antique Roullet And Decamp French Walking Doll

 Please take the time to check out all my other antique dolls! 

This 16" antique French Roullet and Decamps key-wind walking doll was made around 1905.

Her bisque socket head was made by Simon & Halbig and is inscribed with the mold number 1078//Germany//Simon & Halbig//S&H//6 the inside rim has two red marks. She is circa 1900. She has a great German dolly face with feathered brows, stationary brown eyes, molded eyelids, curly upper lashes, painted lower lashes, chubby cheeks, an open mouth showing four upper teeth, very full lips with two different color shading.  Her complexion is absolutely perfect giving her the little girl look that she was made to have. Her ears are pierced. She wears her original human hair wig. 

Her composition body was made by the French firm Roullet and Decamps and has a key-wind clockwork mechanism in her torso. When you wind the key and put some pressure on her legs she will take steps to walk. She does work!

She is wearing antique pantaloons, full petticoat, pink window pain jumper with attached cotton eyelet blouse, cotton socks and leather shoes. Her jumper and petticoat have a slit on the side for her key-wind to fit through.

Condition: Great! Her bisque is perfect. She is without any chips, cracks or repairs of any kind. Her composition body retains her original patina.

As with all of my items she comes from a smoke free home. Non US buyers please e-mail for shipping cost.
