A choice example of a cabinet sized Bru fashion in untouched all original condition. Known as the "Smiling Bru", she has high quality bisque with finely painted facial details. Her lips are softly outlined with an exaggerated smile and her grey paperweight eyes are highlighted with evenly painted lashes. Her original pleated gold silk costume with an extended train shows some wear but very acceptable for display. Her boots which are of a matching silk are original along with her cotton stockings. Two layers of cotton slips and a chemise are present under her gown. Head is marked with a "D", stitched dress prevents inspection of shoulder plate for any markings. Present as well is her original sandy blonde mohair wig with cork pate. Her kid body is very clean and solid with minimal wear but unable to fully inspect. A great overall package with wonderful visual appeal! Head and shoulder plate appear to be free of any damage but not wanting to disturb clothing body and shoulder plate not fully inspected. She is missing one earring.
Item Dimensions: 14-1/2" T.
