Description from the seller
Beautiful Antique French Jumeau Doll - Model 1907 - Size 11 (60 cm) - Original Labeled Body & Original Shoes - Delivered with Original Packaging.
A particularly handsome, characterful, and extremely complete French Bebe Jumeau doll, with the back of the head engraved with 1907. This charming specimen has a very expressive appearance and features rare, original details that make it especially attractive to serious collectors.
The doll has gorgeous deep green glass paperweight eyes and the characteristic, beautifully layered, eyebrow placement that gives the face an expressive and refined look. The mouth is open with the original porcelain teeth.
The original French composition articulated body is on the back equipped with the original oval paper Jumeau label: "BÉBÉ JUMEAU Diplôme d'Honneur". A fantastic and sought-after feature that guarantees the authenticity of the body. The doll is also supplied in its original antique cardboard packaging.
Clothing and Rare Jumeau Shoes:
The doll is very elegant and representatively dressed. She wears a fine white lace diaper, paired with a stunning high-quality blue-green dress with rich lace details and a matching bonnet. The outfit is completed by refined earrings.
The doll wears her original brown leather Jumeau shoes, with the soles stamped with the original impressed marks: "BÉBÉ JUMEAU DÉPOSÉ", the iconic Jumeau bee (Abeille) and size number 11.
Head: The biscuit porcelain head is in very good condition and completely free of cracks, chips, or restorations.
Body: In good, solid antique condition with normal signs of aging.
Hands: The hands show the age-related signs typical for the period; the lacquer/composition layer is slightly damaged in a few spots and exhibits craquelé/cracking (see detail photos). However, all fingers are fully present and intact.
