Bru jne 10

SOLD

Emily Hart, Grandmaster of Dollmaking
Presenting:
French Bébé Antique Reproduction doll HEAD ONLY originally made by the firm of Bru circa 1885

Marked Bru jne 10 this is a small size of 8.5 inch head circumference.

This HEAD was beautifully painted in April of 2016

Poured in “Lady White” porcelain and with many layers of China paint meticulously applied and firings in between each layer

The skin tone is very lovely and pale and with eye shadow

She wears earrings of Genuine Swarovski crystals.

This doll head features the very finest French Paperweight hand blown solid glass eyes in light Navy blue color by G. Schoepher. Please note the eyes are photographing more intense in color than when you see the doll in front of you, they are a soft muted dark blue.

She features the finest high luster Australian mohair wig in pale strawberry blonde color with center part, wispy bangs and soft ringlet curls.

This wig is very long and if stretched out the length is well below her waist at the back. Ringlets will “relax” over time to create a longer length.

All wigs can be ironed, curled and cut as you may wish. They can even be carefully washed and completely re-styled.

On your own 11.5 to 12 inch French Child Body this head becomes a 15 to 15.5 inch doll.
I have used the New York Doll Products FB12 body to model this head on.

This listing is for head with pate, wig, earrings, and neck hook ready for easy attachment to your own body available from The Bell Collection call toll free 1-888-833-8725 to order French body FB11 b-413 or FB12 b-479 and be sure to ask for Bru lower arms.

(if I was ordering for myself I think I would select the 11 inch body)
As this is a new body making company, I can only suggest from their catalogue as I have not personally had any of these bodies yet.

Lovely clothing by Mary Lambeth is used for display only and not offered in this listing.
