Carl Bergner Multi-face German Child

$695.00

This toy is a sheer delight, and must have caused quite a sensation when it originally appeared on the market place. What we have here is a multi-face German child from Carl Bergner, circa 1890-1900, featuring a high-quality bisque head that turns on an axis to reveal three separate facial expressions.
One face features a sleeping, peaceful child with molded closed eyelids, another features a happy, smiling child with an open/closed mouth and brown glass eyes, and finally, we have an unhappy crying child face that features brown glass eyes, a down turned open/closed mouth with a molded tongue, and molded tears upon each cheek featuring a bit of glaze so they glisten realistically.
The body is of stuffed cotton that is fitted with wood and composition limbs, while the head is encased by an attached molded composition hood/bonnet that is edged in lace. 
She wears a simple white cotton christening gown, and a cream challis wool cape with a silk ribbon edging, and a bit of fancy stitching present. 
Measures: 15" tall overall
$695.00
