Description: Wonderful Antique French Smiling BRU Poupee, 21" tall, with Bru Articulated Wood Body! Incised with "G" on the back of the head. No hairlines, breaks or repairs to the head. These are early Brus, circa 1866 to 1879 The wood bodied French fashions are hardly found and this body is exceptionally in great condition! Still poseable and it has the original body patina! Only 1 finger is missing the tip of the ring finger on the right hand.
I do see a tiny mold flaw in the right eye corner, it is done during creation and not considered damage. There is also one white dot, which is missing paint on her forehead. It is not a layer of missing bisque, it is flat and not raised.
She has her cork pate and a braided human hair wig and she is wearing a 2 piece black lace gown of antique lace and pink silk ribbon, black silk is at the bodice and waist in a gathered trim, but it is hard to see in the pictures. Someone made this to show off her fantastic wood body! She comes as is, with no other clothes or shoes.
Her bisque complexion is lovely! She has almond shaped eye cuts and light blue spiral threaded eyes. Closed mouth with a hint of a smile, outlined lips, painted eyelashes on top and bottom. Pierced ears. I will add pink earrings to her.
Please email if you have questions on her!
