Antique 14.5 FRENCH TRADE Belton BRU- look 116 Circa mid- late 1800s with Closed Mouth. Mint condition and RARE. She is near mint condition (please see description below and all 12 pictures) and IS VERY RARE. What a wonderful cabinet sized doll on a fully jointed Sonneberg (see the pictures) composition and wood body. She is also guaranteed to be on her original antique Sonneberg doll body. She was made in Germany circa the mid to late 1800s. PLEASE SEE PICTURES TO GET FULL IDEA OF THIS WONDERFUL DOLL. 14.5 tall which is typical for most Belton dolls. The head of a Belton style by Kathy Libraty. However, this doll has a typical opening on top of the head instead of a nearly dome shaped enclosed heads I have with my other Belton dolls. But I defer to Kathy Libratys expertise. She has a cardboard pate and is mounted on a fully jointed Sonneberg composition and wood 9 ball-jointed body (typical of this type of doll) with straight wrists and ankles. The wooden joints on the doll are larger and depict the Sonneberg type. It is the angelic expression on the face of this doll which makes her desirable. She has the look of a BRU face. This includes large almond-shaped medium blue spiral paperweight glass eyes that are fixed, set slightly a part to achieve that awe-filled, child-like gaze. The eyes are expertly placed and are symmetric from side to side. She has a nice pale complexion and cute dolly features. She has expert and delicate blushing of the cheeks in a light pinky-peach shade for her cheeks, inner eyes, and nostrils. With painted upper and lower lashes and thick feathered eyebrows reminiscent of the French style. Her molded open-closed mouth with pink blushed lips and darker accented outline with a white area between the lips is typical for a French look and has the appearance as if she is going to speak. She is incredibly beautiful. She was made in Germany for the French marketsome as early as the 1850s. She also has pierced ears without earrings. She is on her original 9 ball-jointed wood composition body has a shape depicting an older child or young womans body. Just look at that rounded tummy of hers- depicting that she comes from a more wealthy family. Vintage brown French human hair wig with straight bangs and curls. With a label inside of 100% Chevoux, naturels, Made in France. There is previous glue and old piece of cardboard on the inside mesh. She has an antique cardboard pate (not sure if original). Markings incised at the back of the neck. She is securely strung. Her MATCHING ALL coordinated and designer made dress is based on an antique pattern and her underwear are antique. All are in excellent condition, are well-constructed, typifies a French doll, and includes. Newer dusty pink silk Bebe-style dress, with an off white lace trim and overlay, with flowers on the waist. The drop waist dress has two rows of box pleats to form the skirt with five (5) pink seed pearl button closure in the back. This off-white lace is used to adorn the end of each sleeve with a matching smaller lace at the neck and bottom of the bodice. A newer lighter pink matching bonnet with vintage materials that include an off-white lace that is generously pleated ALL along the top with a large cream silk bow and a smaller silk blue bow. Inside the bonnet, there is an encased wire to help mold the bonnet to the head. Antique white cotton full slip with a broderie anglasie (an open embroidery with floral pattern on a finer white cotton) and lace trim to the skirt, with a subtle feather stitching to the armholes and collar, and a two (2) tiny mother-of-pearl button and hook-and-eye closure. Three small (5mm grey smudges) are found but completely intact. Antique sheer cotton pantelettes/ bloomers with lace trim along the bottom. These extend just above the knee and have a one snap closure. Antique light ecru cotton knit stockings with maroon stripes across the top and are mid thigh-high. Reminiscent of the stockings I have on one of my Jumeau dolls. Newer pink silk Mary Jane shoes with silk rosette adornments and clear button closure. She has exceptional quality very pale bisque with expert and delicate painting of features, pleasant coloring, crisp modeling, lovely large eyes that are aligned nicely in the head, and a sweet expression. She has perfect bisque head that is free of hairlines, cracks, or restoration. HER BISQUE IS FLAWLESS/ PERFECT. There is a slight smudge on her right eyebrow only (see the first picture that is the close up of the face). She is still on her original composition 9 ball-jointed body. The condition issues of the body are very good condition with some minor old paint touch up here and there and a tiny chip or two to the fingers and toes but are not missing or repaired. The costume is great, and presents well, in very good condition. Small 5 mm grease stain right back shoulder (picture 3), one small hole on one (1) stocking close to the top. Overall this girl is truly exceptional! This doll is in such excellent shape considering her age. Linda Edwards DOLL VALUES 12.

Markings: She is marked Depose Tete Jumeau B te S. And the number 8 on the back of her neck. Her body is stamped Jumeau Medaille D’or Paris. She has gorgeous blue paperweight eyes with lash strokes all around her eyes, feathered brush stroked eye brows, pierced ears with blue earrings to match her beautiful eyes. Her lips are outlined in a soft red palet and she has a cute nose with the nostrils painted a subtle color similar to her lips. She overall has a regal appearance in her blue cloak. She has what appears to be a soft blond human hair wig and cork pate. Condition: Her bisque head is free of cracks or chips; however, she shows a whitening mark on her right nostril and a tiny grey rub streak on her nose, which is an unknown source for me. These marks are very subtle and do not detract from her overall French appearance. Her composition body is overall in very good condition for her age. There is a chip in the composition on her left upper arm and her right hand shows some of the composition cracking, which is expected with age, but is fairly subtle. There is wear and composition has worn a little on the front and back side of her right leg joint at the knee. Clothing: She wears a beautiful blue cloak where the sleeves are lined with a scroll outline all which covers a blue jumper dress with a blouse. She dawns a matching bonnet with real feather in her hat. She retains her under skirt, original shoes and socks.

8 1/2Antique Early Kestner Doll Jointed Closed Mouth Composition Body. This doll is unmarked lending to believe she is a very early example. She measures approximately 8 1/2 standing. I will give you the limited history I was told when I acquired her. She was acquired from a woman in Nashville, TN who is in her 70’s. She was moving out of state and this doll was her grandmother’s doll. She stated the dolls clothes and shoes are original and the only alteration she made for the doll was the crown she made for her hair out of gold knit material. Her composition joints are tight and looking closely at the doll, it appears at some time in her life, she was restrung nicely. She is wearing her original honey blonde human hair wig. Looking inside her head she has old paper inside to keep her brown glass sleep eyes open and prevent her weight from damaging her beautiful bisque head. Her bisque head is in excellent condition. No cracks or chips. Face paint is Kestner perfection. Her jointed body shows some joint wear and the left upper leg is missing a piece of composition where the ball of the hip would be. She is wearing a white matching flower design lace trim dress set that consists of the dress, slip, and bloomers. The dress has intricate detail and scalloped edges. No stains on the dress. It does have a little tear at the waist area (see photos) and a few little holes in the back. She is wearing dainty delicate leather shoes that are incised 3 or 8/0 on the bottom of each shoe. She is also wearing a lovely beaded necklace. I have kept her displayed under a glass dome. She is the perfect cabinet size doll and a fantastic addition to your doll collection. Please view all the photos provided as they are a large part of the description. She is an antique doll with imperfections. However, I will describe each item as best and as honestly as possible, as well as provide photos for your review. I reserve the right to be corrected, and are open to constructive criticisms, after all that is how we learn. All sales are as is and final. See my other listings. For more great items!

Antique French Tete Jumeau Bebe Bisque Doll Closed Mouth Medaille D'Or Body
This stunning antique French Closed Mouth Tete Jumeau Bebe, by Emile Jumeau circa 1885, is a treasure to behold! Her deepest chocolate, inset paperweight eyes are delicately fringed with finely painted lashes and accentuated with gracefully arched multi-stroked brows. Her cherubic bisque face features peachy pink lips and soft pink cheek blush. Little original blue earrings adorn her ears. Her long, human hair chestnut brown curls and tendrils frame her face beautifully and cover her original cork pate. Her original antique costume is darling! Resplendent in hues of the softest robin’s egg blue, and antique lace. A sumptuous satin bow ties the bonnet that frames her face artfully with tulle, rosettes and lace. Lovely antique lacy undergarments and original marked Jumeau shoes complete the ensemble. She is the epitome of a proper little French girl during an era when French youngsters were doted upon, and rightfully so. Her original composition and wooden fully jointed body with original body finish, has plump limbs and bears the older, highly sought after, Medaille D’Or mark. According to Theimer & Theriault’s. She has a “Mama” voice mechanism which is silent now, but could possibly be revived if you’re so inclined. Her body has the normal expected bit of wear appropriate for her age of 130 years or more! She stands at 68cm. She is free of hairlines, cracks or restoration. A stand out doll for the discerning collector, ready to be the centerpiece of your collection.
