24 1/2" ( 62cm ) French bebe from about 1889-1890 stamped on the back of the head in red " PARIS BEBE Tete Deposee 11 " , with huge " owl-like " brown paperweight eyes, well pained lashes and brows, and the typical and more desirable " Jumeau " face with the longer nose and tight pinched nostrils with the so-called " character " face. She is on a wonderful fully jointed French wood and composition body with straight wrists with near mint original finish, and is beautifully costumed in an antique two piece peach silk pleated dress with fine net lace overlay trimmed in antique pink silk ribbons with a matching antique bonnet. The antique blond mohair wig with bangs covers the original cork pate and the shoes are original antique French brown leather with silk rosettes and stamped " Paris Bebe 11 " ( with the " balloon " logo ) on the leather soles ( one sole replaced ). These more extremely modeled Paris Bebe's are both rare, and coveted and the overall quality of this doll is by and large superb. US$ 7,950.
