    Description

    A beautiful 20” antique French bisque Bebe by Francois Gaultier, marked F. 8 G. in block letters. The doll is circa 1882 and has no damage or repair. You can see the entire transformation of this gorgeous gal on our YouTube channel: Part One of cleaning the doll:

    She has large brown glass paperweight eyes with spiral threading, dark eyeliner around her eye cuts, closed mouth with accented lips, beautifully painted features, no damage, and no repair. The only thing to note is a teeny tiny birthmark of a kiln speck on her left cheek; we don’t even see it anymore. She will come to you with her gorgeous ensemble, including full undergarments, which Linda Wall has expertly sewed at Turn of the Century Antiques, and with her original wig as well as her beautiful mohair wig. She is a complete delight and a special doll that we are thrilled to have in our shop.
