Danel & Cie Bebe 1889-1895 French

The Danel & Cie Company was founded by Messieurs Anatole Danel and Jean Marie Guepratte located in Paris and Montreuil-sous Bois, France. Danel was a past director of the Jumeau doll company, which had a factory across the street from one another. In 1890 Jumeau successfully sued Danel & Cie for copyright infringement. By 1895 Danel & Cie went out of business and Jumeau, probably as part of the settlement, renewed their Paris Bébé and Bébé Francais trademarks and continued with their own production of the doll.

Danel & Cie are best know for their bisque socket head dolls, with paperweight eyes, feathered brows, pierced ears with wood and composition jointed bodies: Paris Bébé, Bébé Français and a black Bébé Français, all of which are high quality. Guépratte registered the trade name Bébé Soleil.

Danel & Cie used an identifying symbol of an Eiffel Tower doll mark; Tété Déposé Paris Bébé, B # F or BGF.. Note: The French term Bébé = dolly or baby faced doll.
