Product code: ANTIQUE Schoenau-H DEP Bisque Kid Doll 12” selling Cabinet size Factory Dress/New Wig/Hat/Shoes

From my personal doll collection which I am slowly downsizing, I am offering this WONDERFUL little cabinet sized gal from the firm of Schoenau and Hoffmeister. Cabinet dolls are becoming SO popular now that people are downsizing, scaling down and just don't have room often for the big girls.

This doll is marked with SH PB 15/0 (size probably) DEP and is an early Schoenau H bisque head kid bodied doll with no other mold numbers. She is 12" tall and 15/0 most likely is a size reference.
SH comes from a collaboration of Arthur Schoenau and Carl Hoffmeister, who became partners and created their porcelain factory in 1901, known as Schoenau Hoffmeister Porzellanfabrik Burggrub (SHPB) and located in Burggrub, Germany. Sadly, they had a falling out over making shoulder heads vs socket heads and were separated by 1907 so it is easy to date their dolls.
This little cutie is ready to display! She has a kid body with a small patch on one arm but overall very nice.
As one the the few doll doctors in my state, I am known for not just repairing these dolls but if they are NOT dressed appropriately, I will add what is needed. They were not wearing polyester in the 1800s, keep that in mind so dressing a doll is not cheap.
her ORIGINAL black socks, an antique Doll factory Doll dress that does have some age wear to silk ribbon but looks marvelous and appropriate; and has a NEW but antique full lace trimmed slip and lace trimmed pantaloons adjusted to fit her wee body. I bought her a brand new mohair DEE style wig from the awesome NJ Dollspart company, and added an adorable vintage straw hat with vintage flower and ribbon embellishment. selling She is also wearing NEW doll shoes sized 40 mm, as these tiny feet usually lose their shoes early on.

When you factor in what it would cost YOU to dress these dolls in the period style, you can see what a STEAL she is, as well as a few other German dolls in my store. Shoes and wigs alone can run you $100 for a doll!
Her bisque is very good, she has four tiny teeth. Her brown glass sleep eyes have their wax lids intact and the plaster was reinforced inside head so they won't come loose after these many years. It seems to me one kid arm is slightly longer which may have occured from age, wear to the kid leather but the bisque hands are good with no issues.
This little dolly is looking quite good for 120 years old, is ready join your other little girls and round out the party!

Ships from my smoke free home, thanks for stopping in.
