Emily Hart, Grandmaster of Dollmaking in 2020 celebrates 30 years in Dollmaking.

Presenting: Authentic Antique Reproduction Bru jne 13 Bebe originally made by Leon Casimir Bru only during the years 1879 to 1884

Features matching porcelain lower arms also made by Emily Hart

Painted in 2020

Poured in finest "Lady white" porcelain with many layers of China paint applied meticulously with up to 6 firings in between

Very finest French Paperweight hand blown solid glass eyes by HAND GLASS CRAFT OF ENGLAND in “Blue/Grey” color… This is the most authentic blue color for Bru dolls.

This doll comes with earrings and matching necklace of Genuine Swarovski crystals and Swarovski glass pearls. Swarovski created his glass pearls and crystals in the late 1800’s so these are historically correct for a Bru doll.

She comes with her exquisite extra-fine Australian Mohair wig with center part and soft curls in Ash Blonde color… custom made for Emily Hart dolls.

The lovely composition French Bebe body, handmade by Dick Grube features PORCELAIN Bru lower arms made by Emily. Please note handmade bodies may have slight imperfections.

Her costume consists of pure silk taffeta dress with matching bonnet.

THIS IS TRUE COUTURE SEWING!

This dress by Emily Hart is embellished with the most exquisite Genuine Antique laces. The Bodice lace is hand-embroidered so beautifully, it is hard to imagine how long it must have taken to make.

The skirt part in many layers of silk and Genuine Antique laces is an elaborate feature of this dress. The waist trim is handmade metallic Victorian reproduction of the highest quality. The back of the dress closes with finest high luster Vintage genuine Mother of Pearl buttons, each with a Genuine Swarovski Crystal in the center.

Back of the dress features lovely big bow.

The dress is lined in same silk taffeta as the dress and with the Emily Hart woven label sewn in.

This bonnet and the dress flowers are by Mary Lambeth. (I had these put away for many years intending to make the matching dresses one day). I have several sets of these bonnets and flowers and eventually I will make the dresses for each bonnet… All are different.

The undergarments of bloomers and full petticoat, also by Emily Hart, are of finest 100% cotton Batiste fabric with exquisite Antique Reproduction French laces and pure silk ribbon bows with Mother of Pearl buttons at the back.

Socks are hand knitted and she wears silk French style shoes with leather soles.

This doll stands 21.5 inches tall & 24.5 inches including bonnet trim.
