Always
exciting when a Huret fashion doll appears on the market available to
acquire, as the search for these enfantine beauties is constant whether
you are looking for your first Huret or looking to advance your
collection. It just so happens that this lovely girl (17 1/2")
is ready to travel to a new home where she will fulfill her next
collector's dreams. She is of the bisque shoulder head type and has the
typical watery blue painted eyes and soft, rose colored lips set on an
almost white pale complexion.
|
 |
 |
Her robust, equally pale bisque arms
have incredible detailing of the fingers and nails and her gusseted kid
leather body is in excellent, clean, firm condition.Her cream, heavy
cotton dress with a red, brown and green floral pattern is antique and
from her 1860 era and her undergarments have matching detail of tucking
and trim which is always a special feature. Matching the trim on her
dress, she wears a pair of antique, brick red crocheted socks.

Jumeau Portrait Fashion
20" |
 |
All Original
$5,500. |
 |
 |
It seems as if the opulent gown worn by this
Jumeau portrait lady has never been removed as its fit so precise,
removing it would certainly interrupt and damage its original detail and
beauty. A peach parfait of fine silk, laces and trim from the shoulders to
the floor, then continuing in a long train, could it be from the work of
Josephine Jumeau? Underneath, the multi layers of cotton
undergarments encircled with eyelet openwork edging and lace trim all do their part
finish and support the garment. The hat has been added but works
very nicely |
 |
 |
She has an all leather body, in excellent condition and firmness,
just some discoloration between the legs where a doll stand probably
caused some friction with time. Her bisque head that swivels on her
bisque shoulders has an expressive face with pale bisque, brown
paperweight eyes, strong ashes and brows, a closed mouth and delicate
shading of cheeks, plus pierced ears and wears her original human
hair wig that is swept back behind her straight bangs, then cascades in
voluminous curls down to her waist. Even the fine fitting cotton
stockings and mint leather slippers are original to her. A deluxe
addition to your doll family. |

Petite Simone Jumeau
SOLD |
 |
 |
 |
Who is entering the room, turning heads, but
this ultra sweet, 11 3/4" Jumeau fashion in near mint condition with
her Simone boutique stamp. She has the palest white bisque with blue,
spiral enamel eyes, a slightly smiling closed mouth, charming and youthful
shading and decoration of features, pierced ears and her elaborately
styled, long strawberry blond mohair wig. Her head swivels on her
bisque shoulder plate. |
 |
 |
 |
The condition of her full leather body is so clean and sturdy, but at first
glance you will notice the complete label from the Simone shop from which
she was sold. Both her original, cotton pantaloons and slip have exactly
matching lace trim and she wears an antique pair of button up, red leather
boots. Having to cover all this beauty is her firmly woven silk, long
sleeve gown that blooms from the waist with a full and rounded long skirt,
multi rows of ruching and ruffles, with an added flair of embroidered panels
on each side. |

Alt, Beck and Gottschalk Fashion Lady
$1,685. |
 |
 |
Made in Germany by the firm of Alt, Beck and
Gottschalk comes a young fashion lady (15 1/2") with a grown up sweetness
all her own. Her girlish, round bisque head has blue glass eyes, a
closed mouth, a very fair complexion with soft shading and decoration, and
antique blond mohair wig in a full, curly style and pierced ears.
She has a swivel neck on a bisque shoulder plate and her all leather body
is gusseted at the elbows (patched to reinforce), hips and knees. |
 |
 |
 |
Her camisole seems to want to stay on her as it may have been on there from
the start, so photos of the body are not completely thorough, however the
upper torso is in fine shape. Her silk and lace gown is quite a
remarkable creation with a lush layer of lace ruffles and gathers on the
bodice and the front skirt overlay, and an ecru silk skirt with a
flowing train following her. Topped off with a colorful, antique
chapeau of purple velvet, pink and green silk ribbon and some floral
accents. |

Barrois Lady
15" |
 |
With Wardrobe in Trunk
$10,950.
|
 |
 |
 |
Modeling her fully antique wardrobe is this
early Barrois lady with everything we love about a fashion doll...cobalt
blue enamel eyes, early plump, molded face, swivel head on bisque shoulder
plate, her original,long and full mohair wig, a fully jointed,
leather-covered wood body with bisque lower arms, and a trunk full of
versatile, genuine clothing and some accessories. (Her ears are pierced but
the original plaster in the head blocks the earring holes. She also
has a small cheek rub on the right side.) |
 |
 |
, |
 |
 |
Her most dramatic ensemble is a three-piece outfit in purple silk and
velvet, trimmed in black lace and ribbon that will take her to the opera
or any grand evening event. For daytime walks in the park with her
bisque spaniel, she can wear her wool, red and black checked skirt and
jacket. A dark brown wool walking suit looks warm and comfortable,
especially when worn with a dark silk cape with royal blue wool lining
peeking out. |

A downtown shopping spree calls for a light wool taupe, buttoned jacket over
a matching, voluminous bustled skirt with dramatic train. And for at
home, a comfortable, cream cotton dress with tiny black floral trim is shown
as she stands next to her trunk and belongings. Along with hats, a red
leather handbag, some jewelry and bone opera glasses, she has a cozy antique
quilt in her French trunk (tray missing from trunk) that she fits in as
well! |

Young Portrait Face
$4,250. |

expertly made long ago of antique fabrics and trims, with accents of deep
iris on both her garment and continued to her floral trimmed chapeau, here

paperweight eyes, pale, smooth bisque, and an antique auburn mohair wig in a
smart up-do. |
 |
 |
 |
Her bisque head that swivels on her bisque shoulder plate is on her
original, sturdy leather body that has separately stitched fingers and is
in beautiful condition. Of special note are her antique crocheted
stockings with garters at the knees, and her antique undergarments that
include a special half slip that has its own built in bustle for that
accentuated silhouette of the time. |

Sweet Little Sister Size
$3,250. ON
LAYAWAY |
 |
 |
 |
It is so tempting to stand this endearing little
Barrois fashion next to her big Huret or Rohmer sisters, as she is from the
same era and adds another family dimension to the setting. She has a pale,
pale china shoulder head with almost cobalt blue enamel eyes, rouged cheeks
and a tightly braided and styled brunette human hair wig. On the upper
right cheek there is a miniscule, inherent indentation that happened at the
time of manufacture and is not as noticeable as in the close-up photos. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Her arms are also of the same pale china and her firm and clean leather body
is jointed at the shoulders, gusseted hips and knees. She could not be
dressed more perfectly in her royal blue wool, antique full dress with black
velvet trim that plays off her smart, black velvet cape that has jet beads
encircling the neckline, tied with long black silk ribbons and lined in the
most darling red, green, white and black plaid wool. Her black velvet
bonnet with french blue accent fabric underneath the wide brim completes the
look. Her antique undergarments are extra special because they have
matching trim, she has silky cream stockings and tiny, black leather
button-up boots. |

Francois Gaultier in her Finery
$3975.
ON LAYAWAY |
 |
 |
 |
 |
In this recently acquired 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. |
 |
 |
 |
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. |

"Cartouche" Jumeau Fashion
ON LAYAWAY |
 |
 |
To find the incised JUMEAU "Cartouche" mark bebe
is almost an impossibility, so when this little 11" child fashion
with that very mark on the back of the head was offered from a
local, lifetime collection, she was VERY noticed! As shown in the
photo, the mark is incised on her lower back head. She has unusual
brown glass eyes, a closed mouth, pierced ears a swivel neck on bisque
shoulder plate and original blond mohair wig. |
 |
 |
This little treasure is wearing her original, burgundy silk and velvet
walking suit with matching hat, original undergarments and antique, black
leather lace-up boots. Since her costume seems to be so well and
originally planted on her, it was not possible to remove it for body shots
without damaging it. The body is a very sturdy, unexposed kid leather
with one-piece arms and legs. |

German Bru-like Fashion
15" |
 |
Vivid Presence
ON LAYAWAY |
 |
 |
Such a strong face on this German fashion
doll, but that is perfectly in line with the fact that she is an attempt
to duplicate the face of the Circle Dot Bru by a factory such as Kuhnlenz.
She has a super pale bisque swivel head on her shoulder plate that has
molded breasts and realistic detail. Her pale blue glass eyes are
full of life, as is her closed mouth with molded separation between the
lips. Her ears are pierced and she has dainty bisque hands with
detailed painting of her nails and fingers. |
 |
 |
 |
Her gusseted leather body has a considerable amount of wear, stabilized with
several patches at the joints where sawdust could leak out. Her arms
have some clear tape reinforcement that is best to leave be, and although
she shows signs of play, she is perfectly happy on a stand displaying her
richly colored, two piece silk suit of antique fabric. The lower front
panel of the skirt has torn horizontally and needs some subsurface
reinforcement. Note her salmon satin, ruffled underskirt and the
dainty eyelet bustle she wears. Her replaced wig is of auburn mohair
and perched on her head is an antique velvet and flower chapeau. |
