Early Closed Mouth Doll 29-30 inches, Kestner?

Description

Early Closed Mouth Doll 29-30 inches attributed to German doll maker,  Kestner, pre- 1881.  The head is unmarked - there may be a marking underneath the leather body.  Head is slightly turned. Closely examined with a flashlight and i see no cracks and no repairs. Sleep eyes are originally set and work well.   Beautiful coloring, no rubs, heavy feathered brows.  The leather body has some old repairs and some fairly newer patches, but is not leaking and is in solid condition. It looks like the lower legs below the knees have been replaced. I see no chips to the hands. The dress and socks appear old or original.  The wig and hat are older replacements. the hat looks handmade but suits her well.
Lovely doll at a nice price. Thanks for reading.
