Chocolate Brown Bisque Head, Red Lips, Fully Jointed Composition Body

Doll 1792 - Rare Black Kestner, Mold #134, Glass Sleep Eyes


German dollmaker, J. D. Kestner, did not make many black dolls but some are documented through catalogs. The Mold #134 is known to be a product of the Kestner factory and she is an early doll, having very slightly parted lips with molded square cut teeth. Her clothing looks original homemade or at least period to the doll and she is wearing antique leather shoes. This is an excellent addition to your collection. You can see a similiar example on page 63 of Jan Foulke's Kestner, King of Dollmakers, as photographed from the recently auctioned collection of Dr. Carole Stoessel Zvonar. Her bisque is a darker shade of brown than most I have seen and her brows are darker black and a bit thicker brush strokes. I believe this mold was made only as a black doll. She is so adorable I hate to see her go.
