Presenting: French Bebe Antique Reproduction doll originally made by Andre Thuillier in the years 1870's-1890 and marked A 9 T.

This doll head was painted in 2011 but kept aside for the past few years as I just felt she was “too special” to part with…

This doll has an extraordinary “presence”.

Poured in "Magnolia White" porcelain and with many layers of China paint meticulously applied and firings in between each layer.

Very fine painting, the skin tone is lovely pale and with eye shadow

She wears earrings and matching necklace of Genuine Swarovski crystals & Swarovski glass pearls. She also has a bracelet also made from Swarovski crystals and glass pearls.

This doll features the very finest Reproduction French Paperweight hand blown solid glass eyes by G. Schoepher.

THESE EYES ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH BUT ARE THE MOST INCREDIBLE MAROON-BROWN COLOR WITH AMAZING RADIAL THREADING. I AM NOT ABLE TO GET THESE EYES ANYMORE AND THAT IS ONE REASON I DID NOT WANT TO PART WITH THIS DOLL.

The gorgeous wig is made from fine Mohair in rich brown color with curled bangs and soft ringlets. These wigs are custom made for Emily Hart dolls.

Her body is a handmade composition French Bebe body by Dick Grube replaced with authentic Andre Thuillier lower arms from another body maker.

The lovely costume is from Mary Lambeth. The complete costume is made from a Vintage cotton garment that has wonderful Antique laces. Mary’s signature handmade flowers adorn the bonnet and dress. This bonnet has flowers both on the front and back of the brim.

She wears bloomers and half petticoat, hand knitted silk/rayon socks and silk taffeta shoes in the French style.

She stands 17 inches and 20 inches including the bonnet brim.
