Wonderful
Parisienne with head by Barrois
A
few further details on this fabulous
French Parisienne Fashion Doll...... The
body is the much rarer type which
combines bisque with leather and wood.
She has, as you can see bisque arms and
finely moulded hands. These are then
wooden tenon jointed into the shoulder
area so that with careful movement the
arms can be moved up and down and forward
and back. The leather body is in good
original, firm condition, slim at the
waist and with individually stitched
toes. The head fits into the
shoulderplate and this enables it to be
rotated so she can be posed beautifully
as one wishes to look ahead or to one
side. Lots more details of this beautiful
doll, and more photos to be found under
the first doll in the Doll section of my
webside. This is one of my favourite
Parisiennes I have had the pleasure to be
able to offer to my customers.

She dates from around
1870-80, measures approximately 14".
Head by Eugene Barrois, and probably
marketed by Simonne. She has drawers, a
half underskirt, a separate bustle which
ties around her waist and a wonderful
pink dress with cream pleating and cream
ribbon and lace detail. All completed
with a super little straw hat worn
forward on her head. A fascinating doll
for any collector, so so pretty and with
that unusual body construction.SOLD
