Emile Douillet managed the Jumeau factory between 1892 - 1899 and on his arrival, he inspired the production of his very own signature Jumeau bebe. This example is one of the most appealing ED Jumeaux I have ever seen! We love her big blue paperweight eyes, strong French style brows and her plump, bee-stung lips. Not to mention her fully jointed Jumeau body! One of a kind, this sweet French girl will please even the toughest customer. She has a bisque socket head with blue set paperweight eyes, painted upper and lower lashes, thick brown brows, a closed mouth, a dimpled chin, and pierced ears. She stands at 22” on her original fully jointed wood and composition body, and wears a gorgeous vintage blond mohair wig. She wears an antique white cotton dress, decorated all over with tiny pink circles, with a bloused bodice, bib collar, and lace trim at the sleeves, bib collar, and neckline. Underneath, she wears and antique white cotton half slip and pair of pantaloons with lace trim. On her feet are a pair of white knit socks and gorgeous antique black leather shoes, with pink pompoms at the toes and pink silk lining. On her head is a white silk bow, in her ears are round blue-green glass bead earrings, and around her neck is a necklace with alternating round coral and faceted gold-tone beads. MARKS: E 9 D / [tic marks] [incised, back of head] CONDITION: She is in excellent condition! Her bisque head is free of any cracks, chips, hairlines, or restoration, and is wonderfully and expertly molded and painted. Her original blue paperweight eyes are clear and aligned well in the head. The original body has some areas of wear and touchup, particularly to the hands and joints; it otherwise retains much of its original shiny finish. She has a note from a doll hospital hand-written on her back. The costume is excellent, with very little age wear. This is a truly beautiful closed-mouth ED, and she is ready to join your collection. Will you be the happy new owner? This lovely ED can compete with any Jumeau or FG for quality and beauty!! Please view all the photos. Thanks for looking.
