She is on her original blue-stamped Jumeau body with pull-string crier (currently non-working). The face is wonderfully painted, and she has dazzling blue paperweight eyes.
She has a replaced cork pate with a lovely, long Wendy Feidt blonde mohair wig. The outfit is very old -- original to the doll. She has a matching hat, earrings, and quality antique socks and shoes. She's all dressed up and ready to travel!
Beautiful antique condition -- from a non-smoking environment. No issues found with the bisque after careful examination. Her antique body is in original and very good condition and shows typical wear and chips at the joints appropriate for her age.The blue Jumeau stamp is faint due to age and, as mentioned, the crier is currently not working... Which is normal for Jumeaus of this era. The original outfit is showing its age but in good shape. IMPORTANT: Besides the noteworthy issues mentioned above, EXPECT any antique doll (bisque/composition/leather/china/wood) to ALSO have: (1) SIGNS OF AGE - for example: toned/crazed/chipped composition, minor wig pulls, loss of "hair" lashes on bisque heads, not-so-tight stringing, etc.
(2) MINOR CONSERVATION WORK by previous owners/collectors - for example: reset eyes in most cases! , repairs to wig, repairs to clothing, touch-ups on composition/finish/paint, etc. Any MAJOR issues -- hairline crack, total repaint, etc. - would be itemized above, but these normal age/conservation details are not. They are to be expected.

Where you'll find more top-quality antiques/collectibles/artwork/dolls/and more! Significantly not as described: A. What was stated in the listing. As often happens, it's the few bad apples out there who ruin it for the rest of us.
Not knowing what they're doing. And then, when they realize they've ruined the doll, they return it saying it was defective. BUT HAVING SAID ALL THAT.. I do bend over backwards, attempting to disclose any noteworthy condition issues I can find or think of. But these are antique and vintage dolls -- so, please understand that they won't be in brand-new condition. There will always be some minor indication of their age, and it would be impossible to itemize every single pinhead-size stain on the outfit, or hairline scratch on the body. Please expect these types of conditions with old dolls. IT CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.This item is in the category "Dolls & Bears\Dolls, Clothing & Accessories\Dolls & Doll Playsets".
