<p>[QUOTE="Christmasjoy, post: 271126, member: 164"]My opinion is that this doll is a reproduction. The Bru french doll is exquisite in beauty and perfection, the bisque and face and especially the eyes were gorgeous and painted to perfection, a true delicate beauty that comands some of the very highest prices in the doll world. Your doll falls far short of that ideal, her eyes and eyebrows are poorly executed .. the eyebrows are even a different length, and the lashes, well, not something that a Bru Jne would have, or any Bru for that matter, the clothing is most likely a newer replacement as the creases and pleats in the dress of an 1880's doll would be CREASED and no longer puffy, your best bet is to take her to a doll museum or somewhere similer to have her inspected as this is only my opinion based on a few photographs and years of study, she does need love anyway so she is with the right person, Joy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
