Nice bru jne antique french cabinet size doll, approximately 16″ tall, she has lovely bisque with feathered brows, big blue paperweight eyes with black eyeliner, pert little nose, and a smug expression to her closed mouth which has painting of her lips with little upturned corners in a hint of smile. She has her original cork pate and blond mohair wig, lovely original type french silk dress with matching hat, antique chemise and drawers, stockings and replaced vintage shoes. If you cannot pay $20,000. Or more for a bru, here is a quite reasonable choice. She is on the “transitional” kid body which sometimes is found on circle dot bru dolls, with bisque lower forearms and not pin jointed at the elbows. Condition of this doll: bisque head has no cracks, hairlines or repairs!!! The bisque shoulderplate has been professionally repaired**** i do not know exactly what was repaired to the shoulderplate since i received her already repaired, but the restoration is good so you cannot see any former damage. The left index finger and possibly the middle finger have been repaired. The kid body is in well used condition, with some patching but still fairly clean and not leaking any sawdust. There is a mended place at the left elbow, which could perhaps be done a bit better.
