Jumeau Dolls 1842-1958 France

Jumeau - Dolls 1842-1958 France

Pierre Francois Jumeau originally partnered with a man named Belton, (Belton & Jumeau), when Belton died around 1842, Pierre continued to make the beautiful bisque Bébés dolls loved by antique doll collectors today. About 1878 his second son, Emile Jumeau, took over from his father who retired. In 1899 Jumeau became a member of the Societe´ Française de Fabrication de Bébé & Joets (SFBJ) until their demise in 1958.

Many of their earliest dolls are considered works of art. Some of their dolls are: Deposes, E. J. Bébés, Long Faced Triste (sad facial expression), Portrait Bébé, Poupée de Modes (Doll of Fashions), and Tete Jumeau Bébés.

Many thanks to all those who have shared their beautiful photos & dolls with us & now with you, too.

Thank you, thank you - you're all the best - and so are your dolls!!!
