"Collector's Passion"
The Beauty of Antique Doll Collection

Gold

since 2017
A very gorgeous Rare example of a model that was only made for two to free year period (France, 1886-1889). The exact period is due to the"DEPOSE" mark after 1885 when Jumeau had deposed his head model. This specific model has soon thereafter disappeared evolving into "Tete Jumeau".

The model has unusually-small eye socket cuts and a wide nose bridge. The face is rounded and full. The doll has bisque socket head, blue glass paperweight inset eyes, dark eyeliner, lushly painted lashes, widely arched feathered brows, closed mouth with outlined lips, accented nostrils, pierced ears with antique blue original earrings, original wig over cork pate, French composition and wooden body.

The beauty wears antique undergarments, gorgeous dress and matching bonnet, socks and antique original Jumeau shoes.

Condition: Excellent. Original body and body finish, perfect bisque: no hairlines, cracks or restoration. She has her original characteristic Jumeau spiral spring head attachment.

Marks:
On the back of the head:
DEPOSE JUMEAU 8 with artists' checkmarks
On the body: JUMEAU Medaille d'Or PARIS (blue stamp)

Measures: 19" (48 cm)
