Presenting: French Bébé Antique Reproduction doll originally made the firm of Bru circa 1885
Marked Bru jne 14, this was made from Jean Nordquist's Titianna mold, very distinctive and lovely face.
ONE OF THE BEST DOLLS AND COSTUMES EVER OFFERED BY EMILY HART
This doll was painted in July of 2010 Extra fine painting.
Poured in fine white porcelain with many layers of China paint meticulously applied and firings in between each layer.
PLEASE NOTE THIS HEAD HAS A FIRING CRACK JUST AT THE TOP RIM OF THE HEAD UNDER THE WIG THAT IN EMILY’S OPINION DOES NOT DIMINISH THE VALUE OF THIS DOLL.
The skin tone is very lovely and ULTRA pale with eye shadow
Her wig is of finest Australian Mohair in bright auburn color, Extra Long with extensions this is indeed an extraordinary wig
She wears earrings and matching necklace of very fine faceted glass beads, and genuine freshwater pearls.
This head features the very finest Authentic French Paperweight hand blown solid glass eyes in a most incredible maroon brown color with fabulous threading and very large pupils. Unfortunately brown eyes are very hard to photograph and appear darker in the photos than they are.
The fine composition body with authentic bru style arms was hand made ( may have developed hairlines… sold as is…) Bru porcelain lower arms
She wears an amazing ONE OF A KIND dress with matching bonnet in lovely pink tones.
The bonnet is ruched pure silk taffeta fabric embellishes with amazing Antique laces, big Taffeta moiré bows, and handmade silk ribbon flowers.
