The final and perfected version of Jumeau's "E.J." bebe was his first bebe model deposed in French courts, and was highly perfected in its design and painting. This pressed bisque socket head bebe is an example. With large blue glass paperweight inset eyes, lushly painted dark lashes, widely brushstroked and feathered brows, accented eye corners and shaded nostrils, closed mouth with outlined shaded lips, pierced ears, original blonde mohair wig over cork pate, spiral spring neck attachment, original composition and wooden fully jointed body with straight wrists. The doll wears antique original Jumeau chemise, undergarments, red stockings, original shoes signed.
Signed "Depose E. 3 J" (head) and artist's checkmarks on head, and "Jumeau Medaille d'Or Paris" (body).
Emile Jumeau, circa 1885.
11" (28cm.) tall.Very good condition.

I handle all customs paperwork and, if any import charges apply, pay them upfront, so you won’t be asked to pay any additional fees upon delivery.
