ABOUT THE ANTIQUE REPRODUCTION:
The latter part of the 19th century was ab exciting time in European
doll making history. One of the best known and most sought after
French dolls is the Bru Jne. & Cie. doll company was founded by
Leon Casimir Bru in 1866.The Bru was produced until 1899 when many
of the existing French doll companies merged to form SFBJ.
The Bru doll has a round face and full brows. Her lashes are delicate
strokes, and her eyes are glass paperweight. Leon Casimir Bru was
among the most talented of the French doll makers, and his classic Bru
Jeune
dolls remain among the most desirable antique dolls of today.
The subtle, blushed tinting of the bisque, the light brush stroked
eyebrows and eyelashes and slight parting of the lips are all hallmarks
of a BRU JEUNE. Often abbreviated as Bru Jne , the molds were
numbered according to size hence the mold names Bru Jne 11, 13, 15 ect.
Perhaps it is the quiet and contemplative looks of these bebe's,
perhaps it is the combination of the cubby cheeks with the large eyes.
..whatever the hidden quality is, you will find yourself drawn to
spend time gazing at the wonderful faces Monsier Bru has left as
his legacy to the doll world. Other reproduction Bru's include the
Circle Dot Bru (named from the original mold markings which
were a circle with dot in the center) and the Smiling Bru--
each representing different molds( and doll types)
made famous by this manufacturer.
