24 Tete Jumeau flawless Bisque, Early French Dress

  

Fantastic Tete Jumeau with authentic antique french dress! This doll has been backlit with no chips, cracks or hairlines (see pics). No earring hole chips either. Wears newer glass Swarovski earrings.

Wig is a tagged blond human hair in thick braids that complement her fair features. The wig and pate were hot glued on and I had a difficult time removing them so I'm including a brand new pate with this doll.

She has her original big blue threaded sleep eyes that work as they should. Most of these dolls have stationary eyes after 150 years so this is z rare find indeed. She even retains most of her eyelid wax and eyelashes which were probably applied at a later date. She is snugly strung, hilds a pose and comes with nice Kaiser stand. Her body is a crier with the original strings in place. The crier mechanism does not work. The body is Diplome d Honneur. It is in very good condition for age. Her full slip has little feather stitching details and her one piece pantaloons are antique as well with nice antique lace. Her black leather shoes are very well made vintage reproductions. Now to the real stunner - a besutiful coral pink dress with black touches in a lightweight wool! It is beautifully cotton lined and has a charming matching nautical beret. It is in very good sturdy condition with lots of hand sewing.

The costume is very simply marvelous! This is a very special doll - you won't ever see another like her.
