Painted in July 2016

This head was made from the Seeley mold called “Lacie” a very distinctive model of Jumeau with deep set eyes that give her a haunting look.

Poured in finest “Lady White” porcelain and with many layers of China paint meticulously applied and firings in between each layer.

The skin tone is very lovely and pale and with eye shadow

She wears earrings of Genuine Swarovski glass pearls.

This head features fine solid glass hand blown French Paperweight eyes with gorgeous threading in a light blue/grey color that is very authentic to many of the Antique dolls.

She features a fine quality Australian mohair wig, in palest strawberry blonde color with center part and soft curls.
Mohair wigs can be re-styled as you may wish and this one would be quite long if the curls were combed out. Also this style I often cut wispy bangs into.

For your own French Bebe 8.5 inch Milette size body to make up to be an 11inch doll.

This listing is for head with pate, wig, earrings, and neck hook ready for easy attachment to your own body available from The Bell Collection call toll free 1-888-833-8725 to order French body FB 8.5 B532 M this is the body that comes with Jumeau lower arms.
