Very pretty girl with beautifully preserved eyelashes and working sleepy eyes. The eye mechanism appears to possibly be a newer replacement, as it looks somewhat different from the mechanisms we usually see on these dolls. The bisque is in great condition. There are tiny flakes to both ear holes, but no hairlines, cracks, or other chips. The body is well preserved and shows only very light wear, as shown in the photos. The head is not 100% tight but is not loose. Overall, the doll has good stringing. Crier is in working condition. She is coming with a replacement human hair wig and a vintage replacement outfit, exactly as shown in the photos. Please refer to the pictures for more details.

Really lovely DEP jumeau 19. I suspect she is German, her body is German, not French. In either case she is a darling. I’ve had this doll at least 10 years. I never expected her to have a hairline, but it looks like she may have had a forehead hairline repair when I backlit her. I didn’t know what to look for years ago. Her forehead APPEARS flawless from the outside. Her stationary eyes are antique, really beautiful. She wears an antique strawberry blond human hair wig in braids. She has no earring chips, wears new Swarovski glass earrings that match her costume. Unfortunately her compo body appears completely repainted but is strung tightly. She is also missing a piece of her left thumb. The good news is her 4 piece mariner costume from Gabriella is irredescent navy silk – really stunning. She wears vintage full slip and matching pantaloons. Socks are old, leather shoes are repro but really well done and match perfectly. She comes with stand and is display ready. I’ve taken into account her flaws when pricing her, she really is a stunner!

This endearing Sonneberg Belton-type bisque doll, dating to around 1880, reflects the elegant French-style dolls of the period such as those by Jumeau or Bru. She features a bisque socket head with a flattened solid dome, blue spiral-thread glass eyes, a closed mouth, and unpierced ears. Her wig appears to be antique-either human hair or mohair-styled to suit the period. Her composition and wood eight-ball jointed body retains its original paint and finish but shows surface wear, cracks, and age-related paint loss, particularly on the limbs and torso. Please review all photos for details. The head is incised “8” and shows a barely noticeable professional overpaint on the back and left side. She wears an antique brown pleated dress with blue velvet collar and cuffs, a matching bonnet, lace-trimmed undergarments, and antique leather shoes with metal buckles. The dress has scattered holes and small worn areas consistent with age. A charming metal “BEBE” pin adorns her collar, adding a sweet finishing touch. Height: 15 inches. Head: Bisque socket head, flattened dome. Eyes: Blue spiral-thread glass eyes. Wig: Appears to be antique, either human hair or mohair. Body: Composition and wood, eight-ball jointed, straight wrists. Markings: “8” incised on back of head. Clothing: Antique dress with wear and holes; matching bonnet; lace undergarments; antique shoes with buckles. Accessories: Original “BEBE” pin on collar. Professional overpaint on back and left side of head. Age wear, cracking, and paint loss on body. Holes and small areas of wear in dress. Shoes show age wear but remain intact. Origin: Sonneberg, Germany, circa 1880. Why it’s collectible. Belton-type dolls from Sonneberg represent a fascinating chapter in 19th-century German dollmaking, when artisans sought to emulate the refinement of French Bebes. Their serene faces, fine bisque, and transitional wooden/composition bodies make them beloved among collectors of early bisque dolls.
