Gorgeous early fashion doll Bride – a lovely product of Eugene Barrois – who stands just under fifteen inches tall.  Features include a perfect bisque head and shoulder plate, marvelous coloring, inset cobalt blue glass eyes, pierced-through ears, and her original (albeit sparse) mohair wig.
On a kid leather body in very nice condition, she is elegantly costumed for her special day in cream satin, decorated with glittering crystal beads and pearl drops. Of special note is the elegant drape of delicate lace. Note also, her long tulle veil, “pearl” jewelry and bouquet that coordinates with her floral hair ornament.
Every fashion collection needs a bridal scene, why not make this lovely doll the star of yours?

Thank you, B.

Appearing nearly as she did when she stood upon the store shelves in 1875, this classic Jumeau is one any serious fashion collector should be proud to call their own.  This sixteen-inch model bears a youthful look, with a perfect bisque head and shoulder plate, early spiral-threaded glass eyes in a pleasing shade, pierced ears, and a fabulous wig that features a delicate braid and the original “frizzles” at the forehead.
We have not undressed this example due to the fragile nature of her all-original costume, but it appears her kid body is in very good condition.
The original ensemble, in tan and chocolate brown silk, features amazing styling and details.  Yes, there are scattered repairs and weak areas upon the costume, but to our eyes, the benefits of having this lovely doll in her original dress, totally outweigh these issues.
