16" Bru Jne 5 in Rare Antique Asian Costume and Presentation

With the influx of Asian influence in 19th century Europe, it is no surprise that it would inspire the presentations of antique dolls, such as with this luscious Bru Jne. 5 bebe. Everything from furniture, art, music, home décor accents and fabrics, jewelry and fashion offered examples having Asian themes, prints, patterns and accents. And that is clearly visible with her antique Chinese silk costume with jumpsuit, embroidered robe, hat and platform silk shoes, all displaying colorful fabrics, motifs and trims genuinely Asian.
Even the original antique wig that is part of the costume is made of strong, black human hair that is loosely styled, allowing the long locks to fall from the shoulders. She is also shown with an antique, blond mohair wig that she keeps to the side in case she needs it for a future extra outfit. She has warm brown paperweight eyes, lush lashes and finely stroked brows on a molded brow bone, creamy bisque with appealingly shaded cheeks and a closed mouth, in a delicate rose hue with fine outlining of the lips. She has pierced ears with the right earring hole having a chip. As Chevrot bodies go, hers is outstanding in condition and cleanliness of her leather torso, leather over wood upper arms, leather over metal armature upper legs and wood lower legs and carved feet.
Her lovely bisque hands in their ballerina pose are perfect and on her chest is her original, Bru Jne factory label, still very intact! The era in which this Bru was made is about the time that Casimir Bru introduced the elusive Asian featured Bru Jne, and these brown-eyed examples with traditional Bru Jne. features were also offered in the costumes of the Orient. No Damage or Repair to bisque except earring hole chip.
