Condition & Damage Report (Important)This rare antique piece is offered inas-found antique condition with notable cosmetic wear. Please review the macro close-up photos carefully:

• Left Baby:The tiny fingers on the left hand are cleanly broken off/missing at the knuckles (documented in macro photo #5). There is also light paint chipping/flea-bites on the toes of the foot.
• Right Baby:The left hand raised to the head has a broken finger tip (documented in macro photo #4).
• General:The unglazed bisque body shows some light surface smudging, minor accumulated estate dust, and tiny paint nicks consistent with authentic handling over the last 110+ years. The hollow base is completely stable with two structural firing holes. There are no cracks or restorations to the primary bodies, faces, or the nest base.

💎 Rarity & Collector Value

• The Heubach Distinction:Collectors actively hunt for authentic Gebrüder Heubach figurines due to their lifelike, expressive quality. While single piano babies crawling or lying down are relatively common,multi-figure group sculptures (such as these twins) sitting in a thematic bird's nest are substantially rarerand heavily cataloged.
• Value Consistency:Even with the noted finger nicks, multi-figure Heubach character pieces retain stable secondary market value because of the complexity of the mold and the cross-collectible appeal to both antique doll enthusiasts and fine porcelain collectors.

Keep in mind the shipping price also covers handling fees, packaging materials & time, not just postage.
