Bebe Jumeau
DÉPOSE

It was quite difficult to get this exuberant DÉPOSE JUMEAU 10 to sit still for her photo session. You see we finally succeeded and we believe the result is delightful!
This twenty-two inch model is not only beautiful, she's a firecracker! We should have known she would be trouble the instant we spied her slightly raised right eyebrow!
Although the bisque head is extremely lovely – showcasing exquisite painting, it is not perfect, as there is a one and one-half inch hairline visible from the crown rim, just behind the left ear. Additional details include gorgeous and extremely expressive blue paperweight eyes in even eyecuts, applied ears and a fabulous original blonde wig with its abundant curls, still attached to the original cork pate.
On a jointed-composition, labeled-Jumeau body of a slightly later date than other similar DÉPOSE models, it is of the proper proportion and retains the original finish showing normal wear.
The very pretty dress of silk and lace could not be more perfect, as its singular style and brilliance is the best compliment this frisky bebe could ask for! Antique underwear and Bebe Jumeau leather shoes in her size send this package right over the top...and believe us, there is no place she would rather be!

22-1/2" SFBJ-era DEP, size 10 with very pretty bisque and personality plus! Highlights include a perfect bisque head, deep brown glass eyes with lashes, molded eyebrows, pierced ears and a strawberry blond human hair wig which compliments both her bisque and her sunny disposition.
Her wood and composition body is fully jointed, and retains its original finish, showing normal wear.
Red seemed the perfect color choice for her costume, and she wears it well. The red and white cotton Kate Greenaway-style dress features a wide sash that ties in the back, and note the separate white cotton collar with its sweet cutwork details. Antique knit stockings and leather shoes are a very nice bonus.
A darling child that is ready for display!

Mademoiselle Polichinelle

32" Bebe Jumeau from the SFBJ era with head markings that include DEP TETE JUMEAU 14. Additional highlights include perfect bisque, brown sleep-eyes, an open mouth with teeth and a marvelous long, honey blond human hair wig in the original set. Her jointed composition body bears the Jumeau paper label, and retains its nice original finish.
Perhaps, by chance, you may have noticed her festive costume? This child likes to be the center of attention in her brilliantly colorful Polichinelle ensemble. You have to admit she is hard to miss in this particular arrangement of cerise and gold satin with net and metallic trim. But, in case you somehow did not notice her, the bells would draw your attention!
Guaranteed to be the life of the party!

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.
