Unnamed doll of inspiration

The inspiration for this doll body is an unnamed antique French body that was used by Bru, Huret and Jumeau. The doll itself was around 15 inches. The original antique body was made of wood and was fully jointed.

The body is easy to pose and has life-like movements with her ball joints. The height of the body from feet to top of shoulder plate is 9 inches. The finished doll is 11 1/2 inches. She is perfect for reproduction antique heads. Her feet were designed to wear those beautiful little shoes with a bit of a heel. The shoes that I used in designing the feet can be purchased from Land of Oz Dolls. The shoes with the heels actually completes her balance.

Land of Oz Dolls also have beautiful heads that fit, eyes, wigs and other supplies for these "Elegant Ladies".

Our body is made of an air drying composition that is light weight and very strong when dry. As strong as porcelain but doesn't brake as easily. The body is finished with a smooth enamel that is very durable. The soft body color matches Bell's "French Glow" porcelain or Seeley's "French Bisque". The body is well designed and balanced.
