Presenting.. French Bebe Antique Reproduction doll originally made by Danel & Cie, from 1891 but was later made by Jumeau up to and after the turn of the century.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST OF EMILY HART AND MARY LAMBETH!

This doll was painted in 2011... my latest and finest painting... She is just breathtaking!

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 desirable ultra pale and with eye shadow.

The Bébé Francais has very long thin close together eyelashes .... very hard to paint

Extra Fine Painting

She wears earrings and matching necklace of metallic lined glass beads in complimenting colors to her lovely costume.

The head features the incredible eyes that only HAND GLASS OF ENGLAND makes... color extra light blue

Finest Australian mohair wig in fabulous rich brown color, designed by Emily and custom made for only for Emily Hart dolls.

Body is authentic Jumeau reproduction in latex composition by Joyce's doll bodies.. the ultimate quality in reproduction bodies.
