Huret
Fashion 17 1/2" |
 |
Factory Flaws $14,500. |
 |
 |
The
glass eyed version of the Huret fashion using the same mold as for the
early, painted eye doll. She carries her self with such an endearing
presence, with her clear blue glass eyes, slightly smiling lips, pale bisque
with innocent and gentle decoration, an original blond mohair wig, and
pierced ears (left earring hole mended). Her fully articulated wood
body has chunky, metal hands and bears the Huret mark inscribed on the
center back and there is additional articulation at the waist. She has
a baking line from the outer corner of her right eye that continues through
the upper ear and to the side crown that has dark red paint fired in, and a
factory dip in the rim of the bisque on the other side of the head.
This line and the "dip" are inherent to the doll and happened at the time of manufacture, as
are two miniscule, microscopic flecks on the right lower lid that barely
touch the lashes. Photos available on request. Her heavy cotton print dress circa 1860 has a
matching, fringed shawl and she sports an antique, burgundy red knit bonnet
with hand made, red leather boots to complete the ensemble! |

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. |

Anticipating
a stroll in the new fall weather, this Jumeau beauty sports an antique,
light wool walking suit in tones of terra cotta that plays off her coral,
outlined lips. With deep blue eyes and near-white bisque, she
wears her original blond mohair wig in a flowing, backswept style. She
has a swivel neck and nice leather gussetted body with some wear to the
hands, pierced ears and dark rust glass bead earrings. |

A study
of French poupees is not complete without the inclusion of the Simon Halbig,
twill over wood fashion (12 1/2"). All originally dressed as a well-heeled
ingénue in a two-piece, teal silk walking outfit with matching bonnet, she
also wears her original matching undergarments, stockings and high-buttoned,
heeled leather boots. Only her red mohair wig has been replaced.
She has threaded blue glass eyes, a closed mouth, closed dome head, swivel
neck, bisque shoulderplate and bisque lower arms. Her fully
articulated wood body is twill-covered and in beautiful condition.

Marie
Rohmer Fashion 16" |
 |
All Original "Nicole"
ON LAYAWAY |
 |
 |
A
lovely Rohmer fashion with style and coloring that is captivating, with her
cornflower blue eyes, fair bisque, original strawberry blond mohair wig over her
original pate and metal neck attachment, swivel flange neck, bisque arms
(two fingertips inconspicuously repaired), and sturdy leather body that
bears the oval Rohmer stamp on the stomach. Her three-piece organdy
ensemble is original, as well as her undergarments, however there are some
very fragile areas to the dress, especially the short jacket she holds in
the top left photo. Her presentation is finished off with a
coordinating straw hat, vintage perfume chatelaine, possibly original red
leather slippers and a fine quality French fashion jewelry duet with
persimmon glass necklace and matching bracelet. |

An
afternoon stroll is on the agenda for this busy young mother as she proudly
shows off her new little one. With molding and expression very similar
to the smiling Bru, this could be a transitional fashion, as she is marked
with a "2" like the early Bru's, not with the typical incised letter.
She has soft blue enamel eyes, a sympathetic smile, mauve eye shadow and shaded
ears, antique brunette human hair, styled wig, and evenly blushed cheeks on
pale bisque (very fine peppering in bisque). She has a swivel neck and shoulderplate, with pale bisque that is a shade lighter than that of her
head. Her all leather, gussetted body has some patching on feet, left
forearm and crotch, but is very sturdy. Due to some leather shrinkage,
she stands at 16", about an inch shorter than if her legs were perfectly
straight. Her little French infant child has a bisque head with
five-piece paper mache body, and is wearing its all original bunting and
bonnet. Mother wears a smart looking French blue wool antique coat
dress, antique undergarments and heeled leather fashion boots. |

The
versatility of a fully articulated wood body gives this Jumeau fashion the
gift of motion. She is 15
1/2" tall, with a "2" incised on the back of her head and probably on her
rear shoulderplate under her leather collar. She has cool blue glass
eyes and a content smile, her original pate and red mohair wig, and she
wears a matching violet cape and dramatically trimmed skirt with extended
train. Undergarments, shoes, blouse and stockings are all antique.
Her hands may have an old repaint, otherwise her wood body is wonderful
original condition, with extra swivel joints on the upper arms and legs. |
