CIRCA: 1880's
Arguably the prettiest circa 1880's Parian doll you might ever see. While I cannot say with certainty, I believe her to be manufactured by the German maker Kling. I also believe she is patterned after the Russian Empress Alexandra. She is approximately 18" tall, closed mouth, fixed glass paperweight eyes, bisque hands, porcelain painted on shoes. Her body I cannot attest to being original to her. It is a cloth muslin type material. She is simply breathtaking. No damage or repairs. Feet have crazing as noted in pictures.
