A stunning Barrois head Parisienne with a rare type of Body.

What a super doll this is! She dates from around 1870-80, measures approximately 14". Whilst it is difficult to attribute most Parisiennes, she was probably marketed by Simonne and has a Eugene Barrois head with a classic "Y" body but with the super tenon jointed shoulders and fine bisque hands . Further details of this lovely doll are to be found by clicking on the second photo of this doll on the front page of the Antique Dolls section of my website.

She has her lovely dark fair mohair wig with waves and ringlets attached to her original cork pate. The head is fine bisque set into a shoulderplate, so her head will swivel. Very finely painted eyebrows and facial details. 3 tiny kiln dust spots on left cheek and neck area, which do not affect her beauty and of course are so common in the firing of these early dolls. Gorgeous almond cut eye sockets with early blue glass eyes. Layaway might well be possible so if you require any further details and wish to purchase please contact me. This is one of my personal favourites.
