BREVETE S.G.D.G.
PARIS
(some wear to label)
CONDITION: There is restoration to the upper forehead covering a
small spider hairline (see trans-illuminated photos). This
professional airbrushing does not affect any of the facial
features whatsoever and is entirely concealed by the wig. The
palest, most beautiful bisque with sensitive and delicate
painting of features, very crisp and sensuous modeling of
exquisite early face with full cheeks, thoughtful almond eyes
with delicate mauve shading of upper lids, slightly pursed lips
with childlike double chin. The bisque lower arms with
delicately modeled hands in good condition, but some
over-painting of the index middle and ring fingers of the right
hand (this is so well done that it is barely detectable). The
left hand has some firing stress lines (ask for photos of
details). The kid body in sturdy condition but with some typical
settling of the stuffing and some typical patching to stress
areas.
Here is an opportunity to own a milestone in doll history. The
Bebe Brevete was one of the first Bebe dolls introduced during
the height of the Parisian Fashion Poupee era and would soon
sweep the doll buying world off it’s feet. The Bebe doll was
meant to represent an actual child as opposed to previous dolls
which represented adults. Besides having the face modeled like a
child, the producers of the new Bebe doll conferred great
importance to the proportion of the head in relation to the
body. The head of the Bebe doll is one-fifth the height of the
body whereas in the adult fashion doll models the head was
one-seventh the size of the body. In a way, it can be compared
with the dramatic changes created in the doll world thirty years
later when the first character dolls were commercially produced
in Germany. This doll marks a pivotal point in the development
of the French doll industry. And this particular example boasts
the loveliest palest bisque and wonderful cornflower blue
paperweight eyes. In my opinion, she is even lovelier than any
of the Brevetes pictured in The Bru Book by Francois Theimer. A
wonderful find and an absolute must for the Bru connoisseur! In
perfect condition I could sell her for up to $20,000. This is an
opportunity due to her minor damage. |
