One
of the best known and most sought after French dolls is the Bru.
The Bru Jne. & Cie. doll company was founded by Leon Casimer Bru in
1866. The Bru was produced until 1899 when many of the existing French
doll companies merged to form SFBJ. She has a round face and
full brows. Her lashes are delicate strokes, and her eyes are glass
paperweight. Sowatzka’s are able to offer a number of different styles
and sizes of the beloved Bru.
Bru Jne 10M “Migonette”, 17" on a composition
body, $595
Bru Jne 15, 21" on a composition body,
$795
Crescent Bru, 22" on a composition body,
$795
As with all reproduction dolls made by Sowatzka’s, the Bru’s are singed, numbered and dated by the artist. Because each doll is made for the individual customer, you will have the opportunity to select eye and wig color, and style of costume. Prices may vary with type of outfit selected.
Costumes for the Bru’s are made from the finest fabrics available. We use silks, silk dupionnes, failles, and 100% silky cottons or batistes. If you have an old dress or antique fabrics that you would like us to incorporate into these costumes, we would be happy to do so for you.
