⭕ A VERY BEAUTIFUL EARLY FRENCH BEBE. MADE BY JUMEAU AROUND 1885 DURING THE EMILE JUMEAU PERIOD.
SHE IS 20 INCHES TALL.
SHE HAS VERY BEAUTIFUL AND FINE PALE PRESSED BISQUE WITH APPLIED EARS.
WONDERFUL LARGE DEEP BROWN PAPERWEIGHT EYES AND EXQUISITE FACIAL PAINTING.
HER HEAD IS PERFECT WITH NO CHIPS, CRACKS, HAIRLINES OR RESTORATION. THERE IS A SMALL CHIP NEXT TO HER EARRING HOLE AND THERE IS A SMALL FIRING LINE ON EACH EAR AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS, THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THE APPLIED EARS AND NOT DAMAGE.
SHE RETAINS HER ORIGINAL BLONDE MOHAIR WIG WHICH IS IN LOVELY CONDITION AND HER ORIGINAL CORK PATE.
HER HEAD IS MARKED DEPOSE 9 EJ WITH ARTIST CHECK MARK.
SHE IS ON HER ORIGINAL CHUNKY STRAIGHT WRISTED MARKED MAMA BODY WITH PULL STRINGS AND WORKING VOICE BOX.
THE BODY IS IN OVERALL GOOD CONDITION THERE IS SOME SMALL AMOUNT OF REPAINT AT A COUPLE OF THE JOINTS AND A LITTLE REPAINT TO THE FINGERS WHICH MAY HAVE HAD SOME REPAIR IN THE PAST HOWEVER THIS IS VERY HARD TO TELL.
SHE CAME TO ME IN HER ORIGINAL FACTORY SHIFT WITH HER ORIGINAL LACE SOCKS AND WONDERFUL ORIGINAL FRENCH LEATHER SHOES (UNMARKED).
SHE IS ALSO BEING SOLD WITH HER ANTIQUE RED DRESS WHICH SUITS HER VERY WELL.
THIS IS A REALLY LOVELY EARLY JUMEAU IN LOVELY ORIGINAL CONDITION. THESE EARLIER JUMEAUS ARE NOT EASY TO FIND.
