Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: This is a very difficult doll for me to give up. It is a lovely 19 in. French Tete Jumeau Bebe. She is marked "Depose Tete Jumeau 8" on the back of her head. She has large blue paperweight eyes with beautifully painted eye lashes and eyebrows. She has a beautifully painted mouth with turned up corners. Nice and full. She has a small nose rub and her cheeks have very very minor paint skips. There is kiln dirt from the firing on her bisque. It looks worse in the close up photos than it does with the naked eye. She almost has that transitional EJ look to her. Pierced ears with minor flakes at each opening. She has no hairlines, cracks, eye flakes or chips.(just the earring hole flakes). She still retains her original coiled screw in her head and her cork pate. Her wig is not original to her, but it is a nice full mohair wig and matches her eyebrows perfectly. She is on a fully jointed composition body, original to her. I cannot tell if there is old repaint because of the wear to her joints and other areas. There is a mark on her butt, but it is very faint. You can see in the last photo how faint it is. She has straight wrists. She has a "ma-ma" mechanism in her torso with pull strings. She does make a noise when you pull on them. She does have wear to her body. No breaks or chunks missing. She is wearing a beautiful antique pale green silk dress with lace trim around the upper bodice, around the neck and the cuff of the sleeves (some areas of the dress have holes, but overall condition is pretty good). It closes very well in the back, but the cuffs of the sleeves are tight and need to be sewn together. While the dress is not original to her, it looks lovely on her. She is wearing antique under garments; slips and pantaloons. She is also wearing antique leather shoes which are marked "9" on each sole along with old socks. I think she is quite a lovely doll.
