  17" Tete Jumeau---Here is a wonderful dolls that could be your Mary Frances doll.  This doll uses the FB14 body from Seeley/New York Doll Products that is such a perfect fit for the Mary Frances wardrobe (click on this link "Mary Frances Wardrobe" to see more about the Mary Frances wardrobe).  The doll shown in the photos is a Tete Jumeau with blue-gray paperweight eyes and a blond mohair wig.  Just an FYI----it has become more difficult for me to get the FB14 bodies so I will not be making many more of these!  $400  (SOLD).

24" EJA Jumeau---Wow....what a stunner!  The EJA Jumeau antique doll is rare and was available in only one size.  This reproduction EJA has a wonderful look about her, with the splendid Hand Glass eyes and the incredible blonde mohair wig with extensions.   $425

20" "H" doll---The French H doll is one of the rarest antique dolls.  It was made by Halopeau around 1885.  This reproduction captures a little of the haunting, pensive beauty of the doll.  She has blue Hand Glass paperweight eyes and a blonde human hair wig.  $400 SOLD

23" Ethnic EJ Jumeau---This doll is a darker ethnic doll than I usually make.  She has applied ears, just like the antique EJ would have had.  Her brown eyes are mesmerizing!  $425  SOLD

14" Schmitt---Shown above is a reproduction of an antique Schmitt doll.  Although the name sounds like a German dollmaker, Schmitt was a manufacturer of dolls in France.  This lovely reproduction has brown Hand Glass paperweight eyes and a dark brown mohair wig.  Her painting is quite pretty, with dark eyelashes and a pinkish eyeshadow over the eyes as the antique doll would have had. 

She is wearing a vintage peach silk dress with ribbon decoration at the shoulder and lace at the hem, sleeve bottom and neck.  Her underwear is newer-made and is lace-trimmed cotton.  She is wearing leather shoes and silk knit stockings.  SOLD
