Gorgeous antique reproduction 32" Bru Jn 13 bisque doll

Welcome!

Thanks for coming into my store.

Today, I have a just gorgeous antique reproduction of the Bru Jn 13.

 This lovely doll is on a wonderful cloth and bisque body, made with

rivetted buttons, at the elbows and knees, which make her easy to pose,

either standing or sitting. 

She has amazing inset olive green eyes, and eyelashes that are to die for.

The painting on her face is wonderful, with beautiful feathered eyebrows,

smooth evenly painted cheeks, and a characteristic Bru rosebud pouty mouth.  

Her wig is lovely on her, a dark auburn color, but without a tag. 

 She is wearing a vintage antique violet velvet dress with matching

handcrafted violet straw and antique lavender lace hat.

     The dress is trimmed in lavender satin ribbons and embellished with

antique  ecru lace around the collar, the hem, and the wrists, and

lovely silk lavender rosebuds, also picked up on the hat.

This antique lace looks lavender in some lights, but ecru, in others.

The collar is beautifully fashioned with the same antique ecru lace.    

There are lavender ribbons laced through the lace, at the wrists and elbows,

for easy fit of the  mutton leg sleeves, and a matching bow at the neckline.

The dress is fully lined and made with French seams. The ribbon belt is made of

lavender and violet ribbons ornamented with lavender rosebuds.

It is cinched in to the tightest point on the doll's waist. 

The bonnet is on a base of  violet straw, embellished

with pleated  antique lavender Venise lace around the  brim,

which is wired to allow you to shape it, and lined in silver satin,

with a large bow in back. 

There is a cluster of embellishment in the center, comprised of lavender rosebuds,

plum silk sweetheart roses that appear to be dried roses, and

a lavender ribbon rose, made from wired ribbon,

so you can easily position it and make it look they way you like.

There is also a regal purple ostrich feather that can be placed as you please (and

which I forgot in the first pics, but which can be seen in the last one). 

  Her underwear is a combination onsie type,

with lots of tucks and lace, nicely tailored.

I couldn't find any breaks, repairs, or cracks of any kind.

She is signed by artist Susan Dunham, and dated 1996.

The doll is incised on the back of the neck with BRU Jn 13.

    I accept Paypal. 

Shipping is flat rate $25.00, because of extra care  due to her size and weight
