cm. ) Jumeau bebe

nostrils and accent dots in eye corners, and evenly painted facial coloring.
She is mounted to the original straight wrist body with near mint original
finish by a coil spring. Also she is elegantly attired in a
pleated wool wine colored dress with brass buttons
and ecru lace trim, antique brown leather
shoes, an antique light blue corduroy and light blue silk hat with original
ribbon tying under the chin, and an antique blond mohair wig. No
apologies need to be made for this doll in any respect and is the
quintessential " EJ " bebe from the early 1880's.

Beautiful
Jules Steiner bebe with slightly un usual expression with
head incised " Sie C 1 " and written in red script " Steiner Bte. S.G.D.G.
Paris Bourgoin " standing 16 1/4" (41 cm. ). The original body is in fantastic
clean original condition and is fully jointed with straight wrists and
characteristic short stubby fingers and on the front of the lower torso is a
paper sticker reading " AU NAIN BLEU E. CHAUVIERE Boul. des Capucines
PARIS". The doll has a pursed closed mouth, finely decorated eyebrows and
lashes, light brown paperweight eyes ( uncommon in an early Steiner ) and
nice even cheek coloring. The two piece red white and navy blue sailor
costume appears to be original as does the incredible full light blond
mohair wig . The undergarments are all antique as are the crocheted white
stockings and black leather shoes with buckles. This is a wonderful, nearly
pristine early doll in most desirable cabinet size!
US$ 8,750.

artist initials, featuring closed mouth, well painted lashes and brows, blue
paperweight eyes in narrow eye cuts typical of this model, pierced ears, and
attached to the original body by a coil spring, having straight wrists and
fine original painted finish with only minor age wear of a few joints and
fingertips. It is signed " JUMEAU MEDAILLE D'OR PARIS ' with the typical
blue stamp. The clothing is all antique and consists of a midnight blue
velvet dress with ecru lace trim on sleeves and edge of front center panel,
antique undergarments and socks and pale blue cloth shoes ( not Jumeau shoes
) and wearing a thick antique blond French mohair wig over cork pate, as
well as an antique black velvet hat adorned with cloth flowers. These
so-called " Incised Depose " models were allegedly only manufactured for one
year and preceded the so-called " Tete Jumeau " bebes and according to
research done by the Colemans were the last of the Jumeau dolls produced
with the " pressed bisque " heads. ........US$
