BRU DOLL WITH WARDROBE & TRUNK.

BRU DOLL WITH WARDROBE & TRUNK. 1880s French bisque doll with the so-called “Circle/Dot” with open/closed mouth and finely painted upper teeth, brown paperweight eyes with mauve shading on upper eyelids. Separate bisque shoulder plate with realistically modeled bosom on original gusseted leather body. The dress she is wearing is a peach pleated silk with pale green ribbon trim and collar and is quite possibly original. She wears her original shoes with logo “B” in a circle, “Size 1”. She comes with a large dome trunk with separate tray with extra underclothes, pillow sham, crochet coverlet, a blue velvet dress coat, a black brocade top with black sequins and braid trim, a 2-pc walking suit, and a 1-pc gray taffeta dress with teal silk trim in the style of her original dress as well as a purple velour overcoat with attached hood. SIZE: 16″ (42cm). CONDITION: Very good; slight mold line on crease of chin, which is typical. Her bisque forearms are German replacements, however her original Bru bisque forearms are contained separate in the trunk and appear to be in good condition with the possibility of two fingers on right hand having an old restoration. 1-10792 (12,500-17,500)
