Description: F. Gaultier Bebe porcelain doll By Emily Hart Antique Irish lace costume Emily Hart, Grandmaster of Dollmaking Presenting: French Bebe Antique Reproduction doll marked F11G, originally made by Francois Gaultier circa 1860 Poured in fine “Lady White” porcelain and with many layers of China paint meticulously applied and firings in between each layer The skin tone is very lovely and pale and with eye shadow Engraved year 2016 I have saved and saved this doll for my own collection, but now she shines in a very special costume. She wears lovely earrings and matching necklace of genuine Swarovski crystals and Swarovski crème pearls. This doll features the very finest French Paperweight hand blown solid glass eyes by Hand Glass Craft of England in dark blue color with fabulous threading. She features gorgeous long Human Hair wig in rich auburn color with center part, bangs and soft ringlet curls.( These wigs are no longer available and this one is very long and beautiful). She wears a very unique costume that is a collaboration of Emily Hart & Mary Lambeth. The body of the dress is pure silk taffeta and with a brocade front and sleeves inserts. The amount of Antique hand-crochet Irish lace and other Antique laces is phenomenal on the dress and bonnet. This is a very fine doll and costume. Mary Lambeth passed to spirit in September of 2022, she left a legacy of the most wonderful Antique reproduction doll clothing that no one has ever managed to surpass in my opinion. It was a great honor to work with her dressing my dolls for many years. Her undergarments consist of 100% cotton bloomers and half-slip trimmed in Antique laces. Socks are hand knitted silk/rayon and shoes in the French style are made with vintage brocade fabric to match her dress, and leather soles. This doll is 20.5 inches tall and 23 inches including the bonnet brim. Please write if you have questions.
