What is the Goal of Doll Repair & Doll Restoration?
With any antique doll repair, the goal is not
to make an antique appear new, but to restore the antique doll, while preserving as much as possible the quality and character
of the original antique doll. Composition, china and bisque restoration and repair is done in very similar style,
with care and authenticity in mind which causes minimal damage, thus appreciating the value of your treasured doll.

ANTIQUE DOLL RESTORATION -
The Process
The process of repairing antique dolls, whether it is composition,
china, bisque, hard plastic or vinyl, is more than just doll repair from a doll doctor. Repairing dolls includes
an extensive restoration process of taking the antique doll apart, piece by piece, stripping all the debris and excess paint,
exposing the base material, and allowing for patching and rebuilding of the assorted antique doll parts. After the repair
and restoration of the antique doll is complete, each antique doll part is inspected. Doll doctor techniques
of patching, repair and fabrication of missing or broken parts on the body are done and sanded, ready for painting. A base
coats of primer are applied to the antique doll, then an exact matching of the original color is applied by an airbrushed
for smoothness and quality appearance. The paint that Antique Child uses is especially mixed to match the original.
The doll repair quality is far superior to acrylic paints used by other antique doll hospitals or antique doll
repair restorers. It will not discolor or lift over time like acrylic paint from other doll repair businesses.
Now! your antique doll is ready for another
100 years!
