Bru Bébé Teteur 6

We are thrilled to offer this entirely factory-original Bru Bebe Teteur, or Nursing Bru, and at nineteen inches, she is the perfect size, too. Actually, this example is exceptional for two reasons – her inner workings are still in place, and her body is as close to mint condition as one will ever find.
If you aren't familiar with how a Bebe Teteur works – with the turn of a brass wing nut found on the back of the bebe's head, she was able to empty a special "bebe" bottle of its liquid, and then...well, return the liquid to the bottle.
Highlights include a gorgeous perfect bisque head and shoulderplate, deep brown paperweight eyes, her original and just plain darling curly mohair wig, plus the required open mouth with beautifully modeled full lips and pierced ears.
Her original Chevrot-patented body, in spectacular condition, is complete with a fully intact paper label and features the carved wood arms (offered for a very short period of time) which retain the original paint finish in wonderful condition – do not miss her bead bracelet that spells "bebe"!
Her original presentation includes a three-piece bebe ensemble of white cotton faille, which consists of a jacket, wrap-type bottom which button up to encase her lower body, and an eyelet bib. In addition, she wears a fabulous faille and eyelet bonnet with lace and ribbon loops, plus pantalets, and white cotton booties over knit stockings.
Truly, the ultimate in a Bebe Teteur!

Bebe Steiner

Rarely found so small, at eight and three-quarter inches tall, it is a wonder this tiny Bebe Steiner has survived all alone in this big bad world, considering that she is not yet full-grown. With a face that holds a vulnerable expression, she (and her kitty cat companion) are simply looking for a willing caretaker.
Details of this heartbreaker include a perfect bisque head that is beautifully marked SIE C 4/0 along with additional and very impressive markings in red script including "Bourgoin."
In addition, she has lever-operated sleep eyes that are deep brown in color, plus mauve shadow, a beautifully painted mouth, pierced ears and her original skin wig that is attached to her purple carton pate.
On her original jointed body, that bears its original paint finish in excellent condition, Mlle. Steiner will arrive at your doorstep with a trunk that contains her worldly possessions - including a very hungry kitty.
Housed in the trunk, that is complete with its tray, is an assortment of items that include nine changes of clothes, plus a sweet red cape for playing you know who, assorted hats, a way-too-big parasol, cotton under things - even a suite of French bent reed furniture so she can get comfortable right away in her new home.
Probably sweetest of all of her things are her tiny antique cream leather shoes -- not much more than an inch long.

"Amore"

Christened "Amore" by her previous owner, this twenty-four inch Bebe Bru Jne., in size 9, – is a lovely vision...a definition of her name. Amore has beautiful smooth bisque with a deeply dimpled chin, a full pretty mouth with a hint of a tongue, and painting that lends her a subtle smile. Her deep blue paperweight eyes are quite expressive and are highlighted by mauve shadow and fine lashes. Her luxurious blonde mohair wig with long extensions frames her face perfectly and is very complimentary to her brow coloring.
The classic Chevrot body features a perfect shoulder plate with molded breasts, lower wooden legs and bisque arms with perfect fingers, although there is an old hairline to the upper left arm.
For her daily stroll down the garden path, Amore wears a magnificent, classic Bebe Bru dress in royal blue silk with silk velvet accents. Abundant eyelet lace provides a light contrast and her matching chapeau is simple perfection. This doll will be as beautiful exiting a room as entering, as the dress is elegant from the back. Lovely under things and antique shoes complete her ensemble.
A beautiful, personality-filled Bebe Bru with a unique, very sweet look..."that's Amore".

14" SFBJ-era Jumeau, incised 1907-4, with many remarkable qualities! Beautiful brown bisque is the basis for this creation, with dark brown paperweight eyes and the original, black mohair wig helping to create this doll's persona. The doll, as wonderful as he is, does not have a perfect head however, due to a hairline below his left ear in the lower cheek.
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.

Details of this very unusual bebe include first out of the mold modeling to the perfect bisque head, plus blue paperweight eyes that are lever-operated, pierced ears, an open mouth with a row of upper teeth, and a sweet curly mohair wig.
On a jointed composition body that bears the original paint finish showing normal wear, this example was given the deluxe feature of bisque hands which include modeled nails. The hands are beautifully detailed, although there are flakes to a few fingers.
This darling bebe shines in her classic ensemble of chocolate brown brocade, and note that it includes a matching chapeau. Antique Alart lace-up boots and vintage underthings complete the presentation.
