The most expensive antique doll I've ever restored/ ASMR unintentional

[@judyzennnaro7336]

No one can really appreciate the work that takes so much research. Using the correct types of glue for example. I have done restoration for over 50 yrs. What I did was child’s play compared to the work of Irene. She is truly a master.

[@teresegertig9266]

She’s exquisite love her clothing

[@lavenderdust7912]

It's really unbelievable to what extent you go to in order to use historically accurate materials and techniques. Like, even the antique scale to weight the ingredients. Your work is absolutely outstanding and so, so beautiful to watch, I've never seen anyone put this much love into their craft.

[@whitegold4510]

I always imagine you like you are a fairy from another world that came here to bring to the history back the colours. Special Irene thank you..!!! I wish one day I can use my passions as a profession too 😊😊✨💎

[@sadepennbrook]

You are one of the few restorers that actually cares about the old methods used to create the object in the first place.

Your smile... When you look at her after putting on her hair, is BEAUTIFUL!

My mother threw away my grandmothers childhood doll after she died because the arms and legs came off, (they were attached by string) it was a beautiful doll from around the 1910’s that had a very sad story about why it was given to her. I wish you were there to save it!

[@leinanightray4294]

Now that's a sad way to go for a doll.

[@bonniemoon6790]

What was the sad story as to why it was given to her if you don't mind me asking?

[@cowgirl9014]

@@bonniemoon6790 her older brother had gall bladder surgery back in the day when it was a major operation- he climbed up on a roof attempting to put out a fire but he fell and reopened the surgical wound. He died soon afterwards. One of his dying wishes was to find the nicest doll that the family could afford and give it to my grandmother, so that is how she got her doll. Once she dropped the doll in the street and she ran in front of a car to get it and she was hit and had a broken leg. She nearly died for that doll

[@tboy80z]

​@cowgirl9014 Was it a porcelain doll like similar to this one? That is such a sad story and I feel a sense of sadness the doll is gone :( Atleast you still have the memories to cherish.

[@joycew3086]

I love the idea of there being no music background! Hearing the sounds of the brush strokes, the little simple sounds makes the video more intriguing. I love it

[@pearsrtasty3326]

My mother, she is gone now, she collected and also made dolls. NOTHING like this. This was wonderful watching. She made porcelain dolls. I remember she made 2 at one time. One was of me and the other my sister. And she matched our hair styles and our eye color and these dresses that she had made us for some occasion. I remember mine was this blue velvet. The face of the doll, looked just like me! It was incredible, the work she did. I wish I knew where my doll was. I would love to see it again, all I have are my memories of it. You did a wonderful job restoring this beautiful doll. I just love your work. Thank you for your content.

[@heartsDmise]

That is such a beautiful memory, thank you for sharing!! I hope you find your doll one day! Does your sister still have hers?

[@thatgirlnaat]

[@СветланаОнищенко-ы9с]

Спасибо за видео и отличную работу! Присоединяюсь ко всем добрым и восхитительным словам благодарности. У меня много старых кукол, но антикварных нет. Давно думаю на счёт покупки. Советских и немецких винтажных восстанавливаю сама. Мне всегда интересно купить куклу в плохом состоянии и работать с ней. Таких стареньких всегда боялась трогать, сомневалась в собственных силах и результате. Информации по крупицам собрала много, а опыта пока нет. После Ваших видео с куклами и Вашего интервью появилась уверенность и ещё большее желание это сделать. Каждый раз, приобретая "новую" куклу, думаю, что отремонтирую и продам или подарю, но пока все у меня. Не могу с ними расставаться. Спасибо, Ирина, Вы замечательный мотиватор!

[@ViKee010]

I just have to wonder why you don’t have a million subscribers? No one will give the fascination and beauty of restorations of this caliber. Your love for your art is visible in your hands and your face. Thank you for sharing this talent with us. I can’t wait to watch more. ✌🏻🤍🤞

[@Juliettadelabamba]

I am deeply scared of broken dolls. Whats i find the most scary is that they look so human, but in a very poor conditions, like if they were wounded. But what helps me about your videos is seen how much you can get them in a better condition, how you can fix them. It helps me a lot. Before i couldnt imagine been in a room with a broken doll, but now i can even hold one ! Thank you so much for what you do ❤

[@sbn49ajc98]

Irene, I do believe I could watch these restorations hours and hours in one sitting. I admire your work so much - but this time rolling her hair was delightfully fun. You are so gifted.

Two were wearing these gorgeous purple outfits (purple is my favorite color), and one of them was an angel with my name. The other two were blondes, one in a purple dress and the other in a Christmas outfit. Again, they were gorgeous.
