Beautiful Antique TETE JUMEAU DEP Bisque Head Doll & Blue Velvet Bonnet & Dress

Description: Very lovely 28” Tete Jumeau DEP: The DEP heads were commissioned by Jumeau of France from the manufacturer Simon & Halbig of Germany. This commission occurred right before Jumeau became part of The Société Française de Fabrication de Bébés et Jouets : SFBJ in 1899. Her head was indelibly stamped “Tete Jumeau” by Jumeau. Her head is in lovely condition with no hairlines, no cracks, no chips. She has her original rare deep cobalt blue glass Sleep eyes that open and close. Replaced hair eyelashes to the original wax of her eyes lids. Her ears are pierced and I’ve given her earrings to suit her costume. Her original antique Jumeau ball jointed wooden and composition body has wear, paint loss, a repaired finger, but no repaint go the body. It has the original Jumeau label. DEP Jumeau means that the head was made by Simon&Halbig for Jumeau. Jumeau stamped her head indelibly with “ Tete Jumeau” ( in English :Jumeau head), then added her labeled Jumeau body. Some of these dolls are stamped with the Jumeau stamp and label and others are not. This one has both the stamp.and the label. I have another listed that does not have the Tete Jumeau permanent stamp on her head, nor the original Jumeau label on the body. That doll is less expensive than this one, but both have the heads by Simon Halbig that Jumeau commissioned. This gorgeous doll wears a very beautifully made very vintage antique costume, including her gorgeous cobalt blue velvet bonnet trimmed with creamy white silk ruffle, creamy silk ruffle trimmed dress that has a unique scalloped hemmed dress skirt, and underneath pantaloons and petticoat trimmed in antique lace, and baby blue satin ribbon, As well, she wears stockings and sweetly adorable white bootines. Her wig is very vintage human hair. The pale blonde tone of her wig suits her coloring and melds very well with the silk ties of her bonnet so that her gorgeous and rare cobalt blue sleep eyes play center stage as the focal point of her breathtakingly beautiful face. Pictures are an integral part of the description. Please do look at them closely.
