An extremely rare tiny doll is this nine and one-half inch Bebe Steiner who is marked only 6/0. Although we knew of its existence due to the research of author and collector Dorothy McGonagle, we have never seen this Steiner model in life, until now! Additional features include a perfect pale bisque head with amazing color, brown glass paperweight eyes, pierced ears and the original mohair wig.
The rarest aspect of this doll is, of course, her leather body. Details include a perfect bisque shoulderplate, a white kid gusseted leather body in excellent condition, and beautifully modeled perfect bisque arms and hands, complete with nail decoration.
Mlle. Steiner wears an original bebe dress in cream and French blue silk check (tender), with lace and ribbon accents. She retains her original knit socks and leather bebe slippers, and do not miss her darling hat.
For the petite bebe connoisseur!

14" SFBJ-era Jumeau, incised 1907-4, with many remarkable qualities! Beautiful brown bisque is the basis for this creation-dark brown paperweight eyes and the original, black mohair wig help create this doll's persona. His Ernestine Jumeau-inspired costume bears a paper label that identifies him as "Mexicaine" and his colorful clothing, with metallic fringe and brass spangles rings true-it's known as a chinaco. Further research identifies him as a native of Puebla, in southern Mexico. Additional highlights include a jointed composition body with a brown finish, an open mouth with teeth and pierced ears with charming brass hoop earrings, which are, in reality, an expression of artistic license. From the garrets of Paris, he is now as close to Mexico as he has ever been!
A museum piece for those who appreciate untouched originality.

The picture of soft, dreamy, elegance in her Ernestine Jumeau-inspired ensemble, this EJ model Bebe Jumeau could not be more beautiful to our eyes.
Standing nineteen inches tall, this classic Bebe Jumeau 8 features perfect, peaches and cream bisque with lovely, even painting, deep blue (almost violet ) eyes highlighted by mauve shadow, pierced ears and a lovely golden blonde wig styled in soft curls.
On a straight-wrist body with the original paint finish and boutique stamp, it appears that the clear top finish may have seen some refreshing, especially to the torso and lower legs.
This bebe Jumeau's ensemble is a monochromatic work of art in creamy tan silk brocade, with an overskirt of cream lace, and an "over jacket" of tan silk velvet enhanced with applied tape and luxurious rosettes created from the tape trim. Lovely under things and off-white leather shoes complete her look...aside from her magnificent chapeau that is!

Measures: 22" to top of hat.

HOLD for E.

For the lovers of the early dolls from Maison Jumeau, we have a special bebe here, just for you! This Second Series Portrait model, who stands seventeen and one-half inches tall, is impressed 8 low on the neck of her perfect bisque head. Additional details include applied ears, lovely coloring with equally lovely painting of lashes, brows and lips. Pale blue threaded paperweight eyes are highlighted by mauve shadow, and her blonde mohair wig is styled in full soft curls.
On the early style eight ball jointed body, it retains the original finish and is complete with a blue Jumeau "Médaille d'Or" stamp. There appears to be some paint refreshing to wear on the fingers of both hands, but the work is quite subtle.
This bebe could not ask for a more elegant ensemble! Rich buttery gold brocade makes up the classic pleated skirt and placket, while deep golden silk faille was used to create the jacket. Passementerie in the deep gold shade accents both pieces, to create a truly luxurious effect, while lace softens here and there. A matching chapeau and antique brown leather bebe-style shoes are the icing on the cake.

Bébé Jumeau

Who isn’t charmed by French bebes in their factory boxes?  Well, it’s easy to be charmed by this lovely example – a  23” Bebe Jumeau from the SFBJ-era of the Jumeau firm.  The very pretty doll is by Simon & Halbig, a 1039 mold complete with a paper label reading “Brevete” near her impressed markings.  Additional details include a perfect bisque head with brown glass flirty eyes featuring a full set of lashes, an open mouth with teeth, and the original, full, honey-blond human hair wig retaining its factory set.  She is fitted on a walking body, which when the legs are moved in a walking manner, it causes her head to turn from side to side, her arms move and she emits a soft cry.
What is most lovely to us is her very attractive pink silk ensemble, complete with its matching bonnet.  Of fluted organdy (very tender in places) with lace inserts and accents, what little girl or boy (even Mama and Papa) wouldn’t be enchanted when the box lid was lifted?  The icing on the cake must be her knitted stockings and size 8 Bebe Jumeau shoes in off white satin!
A premium boxed bebe!
