The stringing is slightly loose, does not stand, but is keeping pose in sitting position. The joints have some typical and expected wear. All of her fingers and toes are intact. There are residues of glue and some soiling on the head under the wig, what we didn't try to clean. Please, note: different monitors may represent some difference in colors or shades. Please, read description, examine and enlarge all photos and ask any questions you may have before buying. We intentionally didn't clean this doll to represent it in its original antique condition, without adding the fake fancy clothes made recently to attract your interest and raise price. You could find "like an "antique" doll clothing made from artificial "silk" with machine embroidery for less than couple of tens of dollars on any online market. Sold AS IS, as found condition, as you see on the photos and in description. NO RETURN. FINAL SALE. We will fill her head with soft cotton tissue to secure the eye mechanism inside and to prevent damage within transit. The plaster pate will be wrapped properly too.
