26″, (66 CM), EXTREMELY RARE FIGURE “E” JULES STEINER BÉBÉ.

26″, (66 CM), EXTREMELY RARE FIGURE “E” JULES STEINER BÉBÉ. Rare and elusive Steiner circa 1889, with the head incised “J. STEINER Bte. S.G.D.G. PARIS Fire E.18” on original fully-jointed Steiner body, with so-called “banana hands”, with bulbous blue gray paperweight eyes, finely painted eyelashes, and evenly arched eyebrows, closed full mouth, with realistically modeled ears. She is elaborately dressed in a red blue and green pleated dress with matching cape with multi-colored fringe trim, a wonderful antique blonde mohair wig with long extensions, antique black leather French shoes impressed on the soles “10 DEPOSE” and also with the full figure of a woman. Completing the outfit is a white straw hat with big ribbon with colorful flower design, papier maché berries and pink feathers with a label inside reading “Kate Quiller Doll Hat”. In addition, she has a pair of antique red felt gloves and a velvet covered pocketbook with two metal stripes. Very few examples of this particular mold are known to exist, and, although French, it bears an uncanny resemblance to the Simon & Halbig 719 mold. CONDITION: Overall, very good. Mostly original finish to body with slight wear and possible old repaint to forearms and hands. There has been a minor mold flaw to top of right ear which has since been professionally altered to enhance this doll’s beauty. Picture of mold flaw prior to repair is available upon request. 8-76146 RS (20,000-30,000)
