18" Exquisite French Fashion Attributed to Simonne

Although not marked "Simonne" on her body, this gentle muse of a fashion (18") has similar qualities to the dolls that were sold from that establishment. As Simonne used heads and bodies from other companies, it is no surprise that this face is characteristically Jumeau, but an unusually gorgeous one at that. Look at the milky quality of the pristine pale bisque, the rich blue enamel eyes, pursed pink lips with outlined edges, pale decoration of brows, lashes and cheeks, platinum antique mohair wig (that has been skillfully embellished) and pierced ears.
She has a swivel neck on same milky pale shoulder plate and her forearms and hands are of the same bisque, having artfully sculpted fingers and shaded nails. The upper arms are leather over jointed wood, as are the knees surrounding leg areas. The torso and upper legs are kid leather with deep gussets for a lifelike shape. She wears an unforgettable white, fine muslin, two-piece suit with a meandering print of red floral strokes.
The color red gets more attention with a silk sash at the waist that hooks with a rear bow, s splash of matching ribbon on the straw hat covered in antique lace, and her dramatic, antique leather, heeled slippers. Underneath is a double layers of long slips, plus pantaloons, stockings, and a chemise, all secured by her antique pink corset. No damage or repair to bisque.
