Description
This auction is for an original Leopold Lambert french clockwork automaton that features a german Simon & Halbig doll # 1159 open mouth lady head with perfect teeth, beautiful blue eyes, bisque arms and silk clothing. Dimensions: This 19 inch doll is mounted on a wooden box that is covered by a green velvet cloth. With the base this piece reaches 23 inches in height. The base itself is 7 inches wide and 12 inches long. The head of the doll is marked 1159 germany, Simon & Halbig, S & H, "6". The mohair and clothes are original to this doll. Notice also the delicate little toys on the round turned-foot table. There are two dolls. The left one is made of bisque and the right one is made of celluloid. The bird is made of celluloid and there is a small gold-colored tin box. She is holding a third doll in her right hand that is made of bisque as well. In her left hand she is holding a small pocket watch and on her wrist is a tiny little gold-colored mesh purse. The clockwork mechanism of this automaton makes her kiss the doll goodnight. She turns her head to the left while raising the pocket watch as though she were looking at the time. She then turns her head to the right and brings the doll closer to her lips while gently bending her head forward to kiss the doll twice. This piece was found here in Quebec city, Canada and was in the estate of a wealthy family. Again, it is in beautiful intact condition and, in my opinion, without any restoration. The mechanism and musicbox work very well. Shipping: READ CAREFULY. It will be safely double-boxed in bubble wrap and paper and will be held down with ropes on a styrofoam base with thick cardboard. We have been sending fragile pieces around the globe for more than 10 years. North America will cost 195.00 cnd by Express post. ( Delivery within 5 days.)
