16" Very Rare German Bisque Characters "max"
And "moritz" By Kammer And Reinhardt 40,000/60,000
|
|
|
16" (41 cm.) A pair of rascally fellows are
portrayed, each with bisque socket head, highly characterized facial
features unique to each fellow, brown glass sleep and "flirty"
eyes, painted lashes, "comma" shaped brows with sculpting details,
rounded upturned nose, shaded nostrils, closed mouth with wide beaming or
impish smile, accented lips, mohair wig in characteristic black or red color
with tousled style, unique composition and wooden fully jointed toddler body
with sculpted shoes and socks, antique costumes that may be original.
Condition: generally excellent, Moritz with small cheek rubs. Marks: K*R
Simon & Halbig 123 (Max). Comments: Kammer and Reinhardt from their art
character series, circa 1912, depicted are "Max" and
"Moritz" inspired by the children's adventure stories written and
sketched by Wilhelm Busch in the mid-19th century; the stories, a lampoon of
German culture, remained popular for decades, and upon the death of Busch in
1908, and freedom from copyright infringement, dollmakers thought to put the
pair into doll firm. Value Points: extremely rare, especially to find as an
intact pair, each doll has unique sculpture only for it, including unique
body sculpture and painted shoes. The quality of sculpting and painting,
along with historical background, ensures their prominence in doll lineage.
