Jumeau Portrait Fashion
20" |
 |
All Original
ON LAYAWAY |
 |
 |
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. |

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. |

Grand Size
ON LAYAWAY |
 |
 |
 |
A Jumeau portrait fashion is always a visual
treat with its more adult look and fine detailing of facial features, but in
this grand size, she takes on a special importance, almost like a statue to
be studied in a museum. The ultra pale bisque makes an angelic palate for
her spiral blue enamel eyes, her elongated nose, outlined lips and soft
strokes of color for her lashes and brows. She even has applied ears
that are pierced. |
 |
 |
 |
She has a long, antique blond mohair wig and a swivel neck on a bisque
shoulder plate and her body is all of gusseted kid leather with jointing
at the shoulders and hips. Both arms have patching that must have
restored some wear and tear, but the body overall is strong and sturdy.
Her white cotton, muslin and lace dress is simple like an "at-home" dress
of her late 1860's-1870 era and her undergarments are just as charming,
with a white corset ties in the back. |

Barrois Lady
15" |
 |
With Wardrobe in Trunk
SOLD |
 |
 |
 |
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! |
