Antique Doll Repair / Restoration service for Bisque, china and composition dolls.

Just finished a restoration on Antique Armand Marseille Bisque Doll Head #370 and Antique German China Doll Head.
Shoulder plate has been repaired on both of them.

Over the years I’ve faced just about every imaginable type of doll repair.

My work on Kestner JDK American School Boy German Bisque Shoulder head Doll.

He is sought after doll by collectors and dates mid to late 1800's.

He came to me with his shoulder broken and pieces missing. I had to re-sculpt the missing sections.

What TO DO and NOT TO DO when something gets broken

1. Most importantly, Save ALL the pieces. A lost piece can be reconstructed but this is more difficult and costly than simple assembly. Do everything possible to locate all the pieces. If something has broken in shipment look in the box or container very carefully. 2. Do NOT glue it yourself. Some glues are impossible to remove and make re-repair difficult .Different materials require different mending materials. To remove and redo repairs adds to the time and difficulty of repair.
3. Contact me to discuss the repair. In the case of rare and expensive items with few, clean breaks, repairs reclaim much of the value of the item. For family heirlooms and sentimental items it is the owners decision. I understand that sentimental value can make any item priceless and I look forward to working with you and preserving your family heirlooms to be shared for generations to come.
