Description :
If you've never picked up one of French artist HELOISE's delicate resin dolls, you are in for a surprise. They almost literally feel lighter than air. Given their luminous delicacy, it's amazing that somebody as klutzy as me has never broken so much as a digit on a Heloise doll! Durable and fragile as a butterfly's wing - how does she do it? There's no other artist working today (that I am aware of anyway) who creates anything like these dolls. Up for auction here is Heloise's stunning and rarely seen ANNABELLE (at least I haven't seen a single one of them on eBay in the past two months which is saying something). This Annabelle is #23 of only 100 worldwide. She was originally released in 1995 and is, of course, long unavailable on the primary market! Heloise's dolls today retail for upwards of 2K - I don't know Annabelle's original retail price but I think it was most likely around $1200-$1600 (if anyone does know, and emails me, I will add it to the end of this listing). She is 17 inches tall. She has resin legsto her upper thigh, half arms, and one-piece head and neck and shoulder plate. She has a cloth torso. She is a standing doll only. She has a shoulder length brown mohair wig and wears a white dress, white pantaloons and white sandals. She is signed and numbered on her back by the artist and will also come with a signed artist Certificate of Authenticity. She has been carefully displayed and stored in my smoke-free home and has never been broken or repaired - as far as I can tell, she is as mint as the day she was manufactured. All she's missing is her original price tag! (She did not come in any sort of Heloise box.) I am offering her for just under $600. Like all of Heloise's dolls, Annabelle has hand-painted eyes but they're so beautifully done that they actually look like glass. At these sacrifice prices, all sales are final, so ask questions if you have them but check my feedback and bid with confidence. I charge only exact shipping, no handling whatever that is, and you can calculate what that will be at the bottom of the listing. I will consider a layaway if you have good feedback and or references and make a payment of at least thirty percent down. I happily combine shipping if you win more than one of my auctions and your items ship together. Good luck!
THE FINE PRINT: All sales are final. It is difficult to know and list everything some bidders may feel is important. Any omission in any description 'or part of' is not done to deceive bidders. I do my best to give an honest description of each item and all items are described to the best of my ability. However, it is the bidder's responsibility to ask questions before placing their bid.
