Bru Fashion 17 1/2" |

Tri-Color Eyes ON LAYAWAY |
 |
 |

Statuesque and regal are just some of the words that immediately come to mind upon seeing this superb example of the smiling Bru fashion. Her lovely face is punctuated by her eyes with three rings of color, amber, sky blue and a ring of midnight blue encircling the edges of the irises. Her ivory bisque and gentle decoration, original strawberry blond mohair wig and near mint, sturdy Bru leather body are just the beginning of her enchanting presence. |

| She comes complete with provenance from her original family stating that her elaborate ice blue gown was made with the silk fabric and trim of the owner's wedding gown, to the exact specifications and design. Her original ivory leather, lace-up boots look as if they have never been touched and she gracefully wears her gold hoop pierced earrings and bold pendant. Her undergarments are all antique and she is presented just as the family has kept her over the ages. |

Mr. Right has just arrived in the form of this 16" F.G. fashion, elegantly dressed in his original three-piece suit, shirt and tie, leather dress shoes and seal skin top hat. The detail of his clothing is amazing. He gazes with his intense, clear blue eyes with dark outer rings, pale bisque, original brown human hair wig and outlined lips that whisper sweet nothings. He has a swivel neck and shoulderplate on a poseable Gesland body with bisque hands (left hand has repair) and feet. What a guy! |

Jumeau
Poupee Bois 18" |

Original Clothes $8500. |

An elegant, original three-piece ensemble in an ashen, monochromatic color scheme makes this Jumeau fashion a truly pleasant vision. Combined with her haunting blue eyes outlined with black eyeliner, her early, ivory bisque, demure little smile and original blond mohair wig wrapped up in a casual bun, she makes a quiet appearance that leaves quite a lasting impression. She has a fully articulated wood body in very nice original condition, with some restoration to several fingers and some touch up on the toes. She has picked up some accessories along the way, including a complimentary straw chapeau, a locket with lock of hair enclosed (new), gray-blue high top boots, a sandy beige parasol (melting) with pom-pom tassels, and a gold fashion bracelet with inset "Jumeau turquoise" glass bead. |

Francois Gaultier Fashion $4500. |

Dressed as if she is "Cio Cio San" from Puccini's "Madame Butterfly", this F.G. fashion is quite the prima donna! Her blue glass eyes and fair-complexioned bisque, contrasted by her jet black, elaborately styled mohair wig are quite dramatic. She has a swivel neck and a leather body in excellent condition with posed wooden arms and hands to accommodate props...Such as her "butterfly" mask! Her silk kimono costume is an original garment, accented by her heeled, gold-painted wooden slippers. She has just finished her aria, "Un Bel Di"! |

Petite
Ballerina 11" |

Jumeau Fashion Child SOLD |

 |

In a whimsical antique costume of silk, organza, lace and tulle net petticoat, this tiny dancer crosses the stage to take her bow. Her liquid blue, glass eyes, original blond, fine human hair wig and pale bisque play well in the spotlight, and she performs her movements well with her swivel neck and almost mint leather body. She just has a small kid leather re-enforcement on her right forearm. Her diminutive size of 11" and her innocent expression give her a very child-like demeanor. "Brava!" |

Early
Bru Poupee Peau $3475. |

Dressed as a younger lady with her mid-calf hemline, this little round-faced Bru (13 1/2") precedes the smiling Bru era and has an incised "1" on the back of her head. She has a swivel neck, early cobalt blue glass eyes and pale bisque. Her leather body is very sturdy with a tiny. oval-shaped patch on her right ankle and some soiling on her hands and her sandy blond mohair wig is replaced. Her smart walking suit has some age to it, and is expertly made, and her undergarments, hat and button-up boots are all antique and wonderful. |
