Product description
German porcelain half-doll Marie-Antoinette 20th century
A toy, an accessory? This half-doll is so much more! From the fragile, sophisticated world of early 20th-century German porcelain, this half-doll, also known as the "Half-Doll", is a true collector's item.
Created at the beginning of the 20th century, probably during the period between Art Nouveau (1890-1910) and Art Deco (1910-1930), this porcelain doll bust was not intended for children's play, but for decoration of wooden boxes, textile sewing as a box ornament, or as a doll in a display case, the small holes on the base of the figurine enabling it to be sewn to boxes or made into a doll.
Fine and delicate, the details of this "Lady Figurine" are of unprecedented realism, in the manner of a romanticized portrait of an 18th-century aristocratic woman bathing and grooming, her movements fluid and graceful, like a muse, as if an artist were painting her portrait. Her fine facial features, her expression soothed by the paleness of her face and her high, curly hair are inspired by the aristocratic Baroque and Rococo fashions of the 18th century, a time when monarchies vacillated with democracies.
Lovers of Half-Doll and delicate German porcelain with a history, don't wait any longer! Adopt it now.
Fast, careful shipping to France, Europe and worldwide.
