Leon Casimir Bru,the wooden-bodied bebe was made from 1878-1883 only, and although it was considered the apogee of his works,Bru never deposed the model. It is likely that the luxury nature of the pieces as well as their expensive production techniques made them available by custom order only,and,at any rate,few models exist today. A very rare, wonderful and unique bebe!
