Bru Jne

The Bru Jne  is popular with collectors as is the Bru Brevet and the Circle dot model (named after its mark)
These were made in Paris and Montreuil-sous-bois in France.

Bru also made  novelty dolls including a Musical Doll (bebe musique) and a doll which could be fed by its owner (Bebe Gourmand)
and the Bebe Teteur which would suck from a baby bottle.

Bru also made a range of Fashion Dolls with wooden bodies and these have now become really expensive. (15 to 25 thousand $ is not unusual at auction)

Bru Dolls often have large soulful eyes and full cheeks.Sometimes they have kid and bisque bodies and the most sought after Bru dolls are those with their original couture clothes as these are stunningly beautiful.

 

The Smiler dolls have a slightly upturned mouth and they have a look of the Mona Lisa about them.

 

Bru Baby Dolls are some of the most sought after French Bisque Dolls.

Bru Dolls are more scarce than Jumeau Dolls as they were made in smaller numbers
