This is an antique German doll from the late 19th to early 20th century by Simon & Halbig, marked WSK 5, a less common and relatively rare designation within the factory’s production, making this example of particular interest to collectors.
She stands at an impressive 26–28 inches, placing her in the large cabinet size category and giving her a strong visual presence — a piece that naturally becomes a focal point in a collection or interior.
The bisque head is of high quality, with finely detailed hand-painted features and well-balanced proportions. Her bright blue glass sleep eyes function properly, creating a vivid and lifelike expression. The ears are pierced, a characteristic detail of the period that enhances her authenticity.
The bisque is in excellent condition — free of cracks or hairlines. There are only light traces of adhesive along the wig line from previous setting, not affecting the integrity of the bisque.
She is fitted with a wig made of natural hair, carefully styled and harmonious with her overall appearance.
The composition body has been previously restored and shows age-appropriate wear. The stringing is good, allowing her to hold a stable and natural pose.
She is presented in a thoughtfully styled outfit that enhances her gentle character. Soft pink tones, delicate lace, and carefully chosen details create a cohesive and romantic presentation, while the small companion bear adds warmth and a subtle narrative element.
A dedicated musical composition and an atmospheric video were created especially for her and are available on YouTube, offering a deeper sense of her presence and allowing her character to be experienced in motion.
All details and condition aspects are clearly shown in the photographs.
A well-preserved early example by Simon & Halbig with a desirable and relatively rare WSK marking, combining a clean bisque head, impressive size, and refined presentation — a doll that naturally stands out in any collection or refined interior
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.

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

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.”
