Antique UNIS France 301 Doll, 25″ — Working Flirty Eyes
This expressive antique French doll was produced by UNIS France, mold 301, and dates approximately to the 1920s–1930s. Standing an impressive 25 inches tall, she has a beautiful display presence and a particularly lively expression.
Her bisque head features delicately painted facial details, an open mouth with teeth, and bright blue glass eyes. She is equipped with a fully functional flirty-eye mechanism, allowing the eyes to move smoothly from side to side and giving her face an animated, engaging character.
The back of the head is marked:
UNIS FRANCE
71 / 149 / 301
She wears an elegantly styled dress with lace trim and decorative detailing, complemented by a wig that suits her soft French facial type.
Condition
The bisque head has a crack in the upper back area, clearly shown in the photographs. This is an important condition detail and has been taken into consideration in the price.
Despite the crack, the head retains its form and the doll remains visually attractive. The flirty-eye mechanism is fully operational, with the eyes moving from side to side.
The clothing, wig, body, and other elements may show age-related wear consistent with an antique doll. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.

Where Every Doll Carries a Story
About the Creator / Gallery
Meet Yana Lamar
I am Yana Lamar, a collector and restorer who turned a late‑found curiosity for dolls into a carefully curated gallery of antique characters.
I seek dolls that carry quiet stories — France, German, Japan, American - bisque girls, shy companions from attics and trunks — and give them a second life with gentle restoration instead of perfection.
In this online boutique you will not find mass‑market pieces, only a small rotating collection chosen for their personality, history, and the feeling they bring into a room.

Whispers from Collectors
Thoughtful words from people who welcomed these antique souls into their homes.
“Opening the parcel felt like opening a century‑old storybook. The doll is even more delicate and expressive in person than in the photos, and the description was absolutely accurate. Packaging was careful and elegant, so she arrived safely despite the long journey.”
Anna M., United States
“I have collected antique dolls for over twenty years, and this is one of the most thoughtfully curated boutiques I have come across. Yana answered all my questions with patience and sent extra close‑up photos before I decided. You can feel real love for dolls behind every detail.”
Claire R., France
“The moment I saw my doll on the website, I knew she was special. In real life, her presence is incredible — soft, quiet, and full of character. The outfit is beautifully coordinated, and I appreciate the honest notes about her age and restoration.”
Elena S., Italy
“This was my first antique doll purchase, and I was a little nervous. The entire process was gentle and reassuring: clear communication, transparent condition report, and shipping updates all the way. When I unboxed her, I felt like welcoming an old friend home.”
Julia K., United States
“Every time I visit this gallery, there is something unique and soulful to discover. The dolls, accessories, and rare treasures are presented with such sensitivity that it feels more like an art collection than a shop. I am already looking forward to my next adoption.”
