Articulated doll body made of composition material, representative of high-quality late 20th-century reproductions. This piece follows the patterns of classic French ball-jointed bodies, offering a robust structure and academic proportions for mounting porcelain or bisque heads.
History of the object: Composition bodies emerged in the late 19th century as a durable alternative to leather. This particular body was produced during the 1990s, a period of revival in collectible doll making, seeking to accurately replicate the craftsmanship of the Jumeau and Steiner houses.
Details and condition:
- Period: 1990s
- Technique: Molded composition with a smooth finish and functional ball joints.
- Size: Total height of 28 cm (11.02 inches).
