A PAIR OF LATE 1800's CHILDS BISQUE DOLLS

A VERY RARE PAIR OF BISQUE DOLLS FROM THE GRAFENTHAL FACTORY OF UNGER, SCHNEIDER AND CIE. THEY DATE TO THE LATE 1800's AND ARE IN GREAT CONDITION. THE PAINT IS WATER BASED AND TYPICALLY ONLY ON THE FRONT OF THE DOLLS, OVER THE YEARS IT DOES APPEAR TO HAVE FADED OR WASHED OFF. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MANY OF THESE DOLLS WERE SENT OUT WHITE FOR CHILDREN TO PAINT THEMSELVES BUT AS TO HOW TRUE THAT IS I AM NOT SURE. NEVER-THE-LESS THEY ARE A GREAT PAIR AND STAND 20cm TALL.
