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.
