Bonhams has set a new record for the world's most expensive doll, selling on September 24 204 in London a rare early 20th Century German Kämmer & Reinhardt character doll for £242,500 ($395,750)
This lifelike doll considered as an experimental model represents a little girl with plaited auburn hair and blue-gray eyes that dressed in a lace-sleeved white dress, capped with a straw hat and wearing white shoes and stockings.
Two other Kämmer & Reinhardt dolls, designed by Berlin artist and professor Lewin-Funcke also feteched high prices, such as a bisque head doll modeled after one of Lewin-Funcke's four daughters which sold for £170,500 ($278,000), while a “Heinz” character doll based on the artist's nephew Heinz Burkowitz fetched £115,300 ($188,000).
