A fine example of the Smiling Bru (14
1/2"), or portrait of Empress Eugenie with gray/blue enamel eyes, elongated
nose, evident smiling lips that seem to soften her complete expression,
pierced ears and an elaborate antique, golden blond mohair wig with
abundant, cascading curls. |

Her super pale bisque head swivels on her bisque shoulder plate and then
comes her uniquely Bru, fully jointed wood body including waist, wrists and
ankles. She has an antique outfit for every season, starting with a springy,
two piece turquoise silk suit, an Autumn ecru and mustard silk two-piece
number with extra detail lacing up the side of the bustle's over-skirt, and
for Summer, a light weight, floral print on white A-line dress that can be
worn with her scarlet cape and red accessories. |

Finally, a winter couturier number that is said to be an original Bru suit
in eggplant silk with metallic and marcasite decoration continuing on a
sizable, flowing train. |
![](merchandiseimages/jg%20lisettewardrobe_small.JPG) |
She has lovely undergarments including a long-backed slip and a little
corset with red trim. The wood, hump-backed trunk with tray she is stored in
is quite special in that it retains its original key. |

Having
everything the advanced French fashion doll collector looks for, this
early lady is sure to please. Dating from the late 1860's, she has the
rounder, sweet face from this period, similar to that which was used for
the early Bru fashion heads, she also has the cobalt blue enamel eyes,
pierced ears, and egg-white pale bisque with the most gentle facial
decroation and shading. She wears her original, beautifully coiffed and
curled, blond mohair wig, has a swivel neck and is marked with a “4” at
the top back of her head, denoting this very popular 18”
size.

![](merchandiseimages/jgnell%20fashionearlybust_small.JPG) |
The freedom and versatility of full
articulation is enjoyed with her all wood, fully jointed fashion body that
is in very nice condition. One little finger is worn down but it is not
visible and one toe has been invisibly re-glued. Her two piece, royal blue
silk walking suit is antique, having many appealing details like the white
stone buttons in the front and long jacket having decorative fringe and some
applied bow detail in the back. |

Wearing that hypnotic green from the 1870
Victorian period, we have an astonishingly lovely FG fashion lady with
bulbous blue glass eye, softly stroked lashes and brows, luminous pale
bisque swivel head with soft shading, original blond mohair wig in an
intricate braided style, pierced ears, and a bisque shoulder plate incised
"3", as is the head. Her original sturdy body is all of leather. |

Her richly colored silk walking suit, although faded in areas, is from her
period and has opulent layers of ruffles and elongated flounces, adding a
special drama to her ensemble. This beautiful green, which is said
to have been stained by using arsenic dye, is complimented by
appearing in the silk plaid trim on her antique chapeau.
Undergarments are all antique as are her leather, button-up fashion
boots. |

Her blond mohair wig is antique with a
portion of hair giving her braided hairband, and she has pierced ears and a
swivel head on her bsique shoulder plate. Her high quality, fully jointed
wood body covered in twill fabric is actually the one that should be found
on a Simon Halbig early fashion lady. She even has the added articulation of
jointed ankles with the twill covering also on her feet. Her lower arms are
of pale bisque with long molded fingers, and there is a repair to the left
forearm. |

Her antique wardroble consists of
five, two piece suits, ranging from dramatic black, to several richly toned
colors for each mood, to a fresh, Springy pnik number. She has a number of
antique hats for accessorizing, antique leather button up boots, and antique
undergaments in white cotton. This beloved doll and her trousseau are from a
special California collection. |

SOLD |

Dating from the 1860's the association that
the Barrois bisque production had with other factories like Bru is so
evident as there is a hint of first generation Bru in the face of this
lovely lady. She may have inspired the look of the first Bru fashions
with her gentle, full face with super fine application of features, more
so than on the very chubby-faced early Barrois heads. Her swivel neck
head has moody blue enamel eyes, outlined in fine, black eyeliner and
surrounded by pale brown lashes and brows that make her look early and
delicate. Her peachy rose colored lips are accented and painted
conservatively inside her lip line. |

![](merchandiseimages/ch%20barroistanredundergarments_small.JPG) |
![](merchandiseimages/ch%20barroistanredbodyback_small.JPG) |
She has primly molded, pierced ears and her super pale bisque has a faint
wash of cheek color. Her blond mohair wig is antique, tied loosely in a rear
bun with braids encircling the front. Her body is completely of kid leather
and in very sturdy, and clean condition, with the upper torso visible by
lifting her chemise. Of great attraction is her very smart, wheat colored
silk antique gown with reserved, but very dramatic impact due to the use of
vivid color, pattern and detailed trim as embellishments. Even the pillbox
hat in coordinating fabric, trim and color she wears demands the same
attention! Undergarments and boots are all antique. |

At only 11” this Francois Gaultier
fashion is fresh from Paris and making an astonishing impact due to her
fully original and detailed wedding or communion costume that has a
provincial feel to its design. Her petite but powerful visage has enormous
blue enamel eyes, lush lashes and multi-stroke brows, a closed mouth with
accent line between the lips and pale bisque that is a swivel head on a
bisque shoulder plate. She has her original blond mohair wig peeking out
from under her dramatic head dress of lace, net, silk ribbon and flowers
of fabric and wax.
|
![](merchandiseimages/fgbrideangle1_small.JPG) |
This ceremonial theme is continued
with her starched organdy and shining satin, calf-length gown with lace,
ribbon and floral detail, and she wears her original cream cotton stockings
with ivory leather slippers. Her never undressed body is of firm and clean
kid leather that is jointed at the shoulders and her vivid jewelry consists
of turquois glass bead earrings and a matching pin of turquoise beads at her
collar line.

From a local important collection, it is
clear that the long time collector was attracted to lovely faces, such as
this 16" F.G. young lady in her original, two piece wedding gown that,
without its elaborate head dress and demure veil, could creatively be
accessorized to wear to the ball. She has a crystal blue gaze from her
large enamel eyes, softly detailed facial decoration and shading, pierced ears and
an older, medium blond mohair wig with long curls spilling from a soft
up-do. |

![](merchandiseimages/as%20fashionfgbrideundergarment_small.JPG) |
Her super pale bisque swivel head and shoulder plate match her jointed
bisque arms having hands with detailed fingers and nails. Her
gusseted leather body is strong and clean. The satin folds and tucks
of her ivory skirt with long train are accented with flower petal-like
silk trim showing up around her collar, down her jacket and also on her
gorgeous head dress. Also note her long trained petticoat and
separate, bustle of matching pleated, linen-like fabric. Currently
looking for some shoes to wear on her silk-stockinged feet. |

From
a private collection in California, we have a lovely early Francois
Gaultier Lily (18"), swivel neck fashion, with her fully jointed, leather
over wood body, having beautifully sculpted bisque lower arms, hands,
lower legs and feet. She has hauting, silvery blue enamel eyes, eggshell
white bisque, slightly dramatic painting of lashes and brows, the FG
“bee-sting” painted lips, pierced ears and a loosely styled, abundant and
curly, antique mohair wig.
|
![](merchandiseimages/sg%20lilybustlabel_small.JPG) |
![](merchandiseimages/sg%20lilybacknocape_small.JPG) |
The Lily label on her chest is very
intact, showing the boutique name, “A La Poupee de Nuremburg”, the shop
address in Paris, and the Lavelle Perronne name, making this a specially
documented fashion doll. Her antique, sheer cotton outfit is a full skirt
with blouse bodice, having flared three-quarter sleeves with ruffled
borders, tied at the waist with a sash of the same fabric.

![](merchandiseimages/sg%20lilylable_small.JPG) |
A third piece to the outfit is the
matching ruffle-edged cape, giving added style to summer casual chic. Her
antique straw bonnet's colorful ribbon trim is repeated with her basket of
flowers and her olive green slippers with fancy pink silk bows. |
