For the connoisseur of French bébés, here is an enticing package -- a twenty three-inch Bebe Bru Circle Dot model in a size 8, circa 1885. Details of this dreamy little girl include a perfect bisque head and shoulderplate, exceptional coloring and painting, an open closed mouth with a row of molded teeth, blue spiral threaded paperweight eyes, and pierced ears.
Her face is framed by an auburn mohair wig styled in soft curls and topped with a finely woven wide brimmed straw hat with ruched, textured shell pink silk.
On her original leather body that is in very sturdy clean condition, and fitted with beautifully modeled bisque forearms (repair to left index finger) Miss Bru wears a classic bébé Bru inspired ensemble in palest pink silk faille with fine lace and silk accents, plus a fantastic chapeau and lovely bebe shoes (marked E. Jumeau) in supple, shell pink leather. Head incised with the circle dot mark.
Measures: 23” tall
