Baby doll. Armand Marseille AM 341/6K. Germany. Circa 1924.

Baby doll. Armand Marseille AM 341/6K. Germany. Circa 1924. Size 4 baby doll, with bisque head without an opening, sleep eyes, and open mouth. Period cotton clothing with lace edging, bonnet and underwear. With marks on the nape of the neck. Height: 55 cm. Armand Marseille’s dolls are from Thuringia, Germany, and were made from 1885 until around 1950. The founder, of the same name, arrived in Germany from Russia in the mid-19th century and quickly acquired the toy factory from Mathias Lambert in Sonneberg. In 1885 he expanded by acquiring the Liebermann & Wegescher porcelain factory in Koppelsdorf. The company later merged with another manufacturer of porcelain dolls, Ernst Heubach, in 1919, to form the United Porcelain Factory of Koppelsdorf. However, the two companies separated in 1932 and both continued operating alone for several decades more. Although much of their production took place during the late 19th century, the great majority of Armand Marseille dolls which we find on the antiques market were made between 1900 and 1930. It is very rare to find Armand Marseille dolls which are unmarked and one should be very skeptical of these dolls. Almost all his dolls were duly marked, but it is possible that some of the marks could have been rubbed off or are difficult to see. Practically all of the marks were engraved or printed, normally by hand, and they usually include the model or mould number and / or the size. Sometimes the mark of the manufacturer who made the attached body is also included.

VINTAGE PAIR YAWNING SLEEPING TWIN BABY DOLLS

VINTAGE PAIR YAWNING SLEEPING TWIN BABY DOLLS IN CHRISTENING OUTFITS This captivating pair of vintage twin baby dolls features expressive faces with open, yawning mouths, suggesting a peaceful slumber or recent awakening. Both dolls are dressed in matching light blue organdy or sheer fabric christening gowns trimmed with delicate lace and tied with cream-colored ribbons around the neck. One doll wears a bonnet made of the same sheer fabric and trimmed with ruffled lace, while the other is bare-headed, showcasing its smooth, rounded baby head and rosy cheeks. The dolls have a similar facial mold, distinctively painted blue eyes that seem to be mid-yawn, and rosy blush on the cheeks, characteristic of mid-20th-century porcelain or composition dolls.
