Bébé Joanny

A seldom available Joanny bebe who stands twenty and one-half inches tall, she boasts a perfect bisque head that features lovely, character-like modeling. Although this example is unmarked (we understand some other models have been found marked J. J.) this doll is unmistakably from the Joseph Louis Joanny line of dolls. Additional features include blue paperweight eyes, mauve shadow, pierced ears and a pretty antique blonde mohair wig.
On a jointed composition body with a very nice paint finish, Mlle. Joanny wears a classically styled bebe ensemble of gorgeous cream wool with a printed floral pattern upon it, while lace and steel gray soutache and silk ribbon bows add the perfect decoration. Antique Bebe Jumeau shoes are a very nice bonus!
A rarely found bebe model at a very fair price.

Steiner Gigoteur
"The First Bébé"

We just love the child-like charm of this eighteen-inch Steiner Gigoteur – a magical combination of mechanical marvel and beauty.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the models sometimes referred to as "crying – kicking Steiners", these dolls were originally designed to portray agitated infants. When the internal mechanism is wound and while lying on its back, the doll cries, while moving its arms, legs and head in a realistic manner. When lifted, the arms, legs and head continue to move, but the bebe changes its cry to a definite "Mama" and "Papa" – a feature that was surely nothing short of magic to a nineteenth-century child!
The doll boasts a perfect bisque solid dome head, an especially wonderful expression complete with an open mouth and two rows of teeth, pretty blue paperweight eyes, and a very charming original light brown mohair wig in its original style.
Featuring a body in exceptionally clean condition with wax-over limbs, the nails are realistically painted on the fingers and toes, revealing that she was initially retailed at Au Nain Bleu, Paris' most famous toy store. The wonderful all-original commercial presentation includes a lace dress worn over ice blue satin, with a coordinating bonnet, also of lace and ice blue satin. The doll does not wear shoes, in order to show off her beautifully decorated nails.
Featuring a mechanism in freshly-cleaned, perfect working order, this bebe is a truly great example of Steiner ingenuity combined with sheer beauty.
