What a classic, yet character-like expression this Bebe Rabery & Delphieu possesses! A wonderful circa 1880s example, she is deeply marked R.4.D, she possesses so much personality – she may just open her pretty mouth at any moment and speak! Features include gorgeous pale bisque, lovely, bulbous, brown paperweight eyes with very apparent mauve shadow, beautiful lips with lovely painting and shading, pierced ears, and a flattering long blonde mohair wig that is styled in soft curls.
Mlle. Rabery-Delphieu is on an early, French, jointed wood and composition body with an original finish showing normal wear, however it is a Jumeau body, not the typical body associated with Rabery et Delphieu.
We think what might help lend this special example so much personality is the cheerful pink patterned silk dress she is wearing. A coordinating chapeau and antique French leather shoes only add to this bebe's already boundless appeal.
Measures: 26 1/2” tall, 28 1/2” tall, overall
