Presenting:

French Bébé Antique Reproduction doll originally made by Emile-Louis Jumeau circa 1886 to 1889

Finest Painting

This doll features the very finest French Paperweight hand blown solid glass eyes from G. Schoefer. These are genuine Jumeau reproduction eyes.

She features fine quality extra long Australian Mohair wig, in rich brown color with center part, bangs and soft curls.... Custom made for Emily Hart dolls.

Her body is Authentic Jumeau style French Bebe composition hand made and painted in latex paint.

This costume was in Mary Lambeth’s own private collection, but I was able to buy it from her before her passing in 2023, So the costume could possibly be termed “vintage” as I am not sure when it was made. The fabrics are silk and you can see by the photos that the color is lighter (faded) in the back and darker in the front of the dress. She wears a most unusual hat that is an Antique but decorated by Mary with Antique laces and her signature hand made ribbon flowers and a lovely golden-tone Ostrich feather.

The undergarments are bloomers and half petticoat of pure cotton and lace.

Her socks are hand-knitted of silk/rayon and shoes are silk matching her dress with leather soles.

She stands 25 inches and measures 26.5 inches to top of her hat.

THIS DOLL IS FROM EMILY HART’S PERSONAL COLLECTION.
