Doll restoration is the process of repairing and rejuvenating dolls to bring them back to their original condition or enhance their appearance. This can involve cleaning, fixing broken parts, and replacing missing items like clothing or accessories. Restoration can apply to various types of dolls, including vintage, collectible, and handmade dolls. Restorers often use specialized techniques and materials to ensure the doll's integrity is maintained. Common tasks include re-stringing porcelain dolls, repainting vinyl dolls, and repairing stuffed dolls. The goal is to preserve the doll's history while making it visually appealing for collectors or sentimental owners.
