(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.
