Here we have a beautiful French bebe by Pintel & Godchaux ( 1887-1899), with lovely large eyes, in a desirable small size, only 35 cm, marked C P7G.
Pressed bisque socket head, blue glass inset eyes, delicately painted lashes, feathered brows, accented nostrils and eye corners, open mouth with a row of tiny porcelain teeth, dimpled chin. The doll has a golden-coloured mohair wig on a cork pate and a French composition and wooden fully articulated body.
The doll wears a lovely dark blue velvet and silk dress and a velvet beret decorated with a white feather, blue leather shoes and white socks. Her underwer is richly decorated with lace and embroidery and she wears a beautiful tiny silk corset.
The doll will arrive with her own toys: an all bisque mignonette in a vintage doll carriage.
Condition: Excellent quality pale bisque, no cracks, hairlines or repairs on the bisque head. Near the letter "C" marked on the back side of the head there is a 4-5 mm, barely visible superficial line, which can be a superficial scratch. It is not a crack or hearline and it is not dangerous for the bisque head. ( Please, look on the pictures).
The body is in excellent condition. On the left hand half a finger is missing ( Please, look on the pictures). Otherwise, the body is well preserved and generally the doll is in a very good condition, considering that she is about 125 -130 years old.
