CONDITION: Excellent. The gorgeous head with creamy bisque, pleasant color, expert painting of
delicate features, crisp modeling of very endearing face with lively animation. There is a teeny
speck above the upper lip and the left earlobe has had some restoration, possibly to restore a
chipped ear- but other than that, the head is virtually flawless! The original body is in excellent
original finish condition with just minor and typical flaking to the joint areas. What a gorgeous
and HUGE Jumeau! I never cease to fall in love with these French beauties! And this big girl definitely
has “The Look!”!! Where can you find another one this big in such and extraordinary costume in
excellent condition????

CONDITION: A small eye flake to the lower left eye-cut has been retouched. Otherwise this
is a beautifully executed head with fine pale bisque, expert painting of delicate
features and superior modeling of exact copy of the Bru Jne doll of the same era
(circa 1885). The original body with some typical age wear, chipping and flaking.
This is indeed the most beautiful GK Bru that I have ever seen. I have seen these dolls
sell for more than $6000 when perfect. I just can’t get enough of her face!!! She may
be more beautiful than an actual Bru! A wonderful piece of doll history! Wow this is a
true opportunity to own a really rare antique doll! WHERE CAN YOU FIND ANOTHER?

CONDITION: The head was broken and re-glued in the back in a few areas that have
now been reinforced with epoxy. The front, sides and neck of her face are virtually
untouched by the damage which is all in the back! She has gorgeous bisque with expert
painting of features and crisp ethnic modeling of very endearing face with smooth brown
color and luscious lips!. The modeling of the black features is wonderful including
the hint of two dimples at the sides of her nose. Typical and very minor light spots
to the crown rim where the wig was removed do not detract or devalue. The original
body is in very good original finish condition with shiny original finish with minor
wear to the hands and two fingers are rebuilt on the right hand. Both feet have had
rebuilding of the toes and the neck socket of the torso has also been reinforced and
rebuilt.

This beautiful Brown character has a tender presence with a shy expression
and a lovely costume! An outstanding example by this revered German firm.
This very rare model of the African/mulatto child is so rare in this super large size.
I have seen this same mold in the 14” size sell for $10,000. So despite her hidden
damage, this is still a doll to be seriously considered by any advanced collector.
I would venture to say that if she were perfect she could command up to $20,000.
But due to her hidden damage, I am listing her at just $6300. I doubt that you will
come across another such wonderful example! In fact, I would love to keep her in my
personal collection—but I value my marriage more. LOL |
