BEBE BRU

It should come as no surprise that we at Carmel Doll Shop are especially fond of all types of dolls with original wardrobes. Because of this specialty niche, we are aware that it is a rarity to come across bebes with extra clothing, as opposed to the fashion ladies who always seemed to receive most of the spoiling.
We are pleased to offer a truly marvelous Bebe Bru Circle Dot in size 6 who stands just over seventeen inches tall -- a very manageable size. Details of the doll include a classically beautiful and perfect bisque head, on a perfect bisque shoulder plate with molded breasts. She also has caramel brown paperweight eyes, lovely and delicate lash painting, abundant mauve shadow, an original blonde mohair wig, and pierced ears.
Her classic, Bru-patented body is gusseted leather with bisque arms (well done repair to two fingers on left hand).
Shown here wearing an original costume of burgundy silk with elegant ruched accents, she also owns two other silk ensembles, a silk velvet coat dress, and a darling winter coat in aubergine velvet. Additional articles of clothing include a fabulous black silk brocade dolman, plus numerous articles of underwear.
Accessories include a great leather satchel with a watch built-in so our little miss will never be late for a tea party, plus a red leather diary, a pendant watch, two brushes, a pair of gloves, a fan and a metal purse with a chain handle.
A lovely flower of a bebe who is costumed as the loveliest blossom in the garden all year 'round.

Thank You, C.

It was very interesting to do a little research into the Falck – Roussel company, as this beguiling little bebe is part of the firm's production. Falck – Roussel was founded in 1885, in Paris, and by 1889 the firm was producing hundreds of thousands of dolls per year, but the production consisted of largely inexpensive dolls for export. It is quite strange and somewhat mysterious that more of Falck – Roussel's dolls have not survived, and they are actually extremely rare to come across today.
Standing nine and one-quarter inches tall and marked F•R 2/0 this cabinet-size cutie is a survivor. Bearing a perfect bisque head with large pale blue paperweight eyes and character-like modeling, she has pierced ears and a long light brown mohair wig styled in soft curls.
On a jointed composition body that retains a very nice finish, she wears a darling printed cotton dress that is accented by lace, plus antique stockings and leather bebe shoes that bear an Au Nain Bleu paper label.
Better not hesitate on this petite rarity – who knows how long you might have to wait for another to appear?
