an extraordinary, rare set of Cloth Dolls depicting Anne (a poet), Emily
(Wuthering Heights, 1847) Charlotte and Branwell
Bronte. Charlotte is perhaps best known as the author of Jane
Eyre, 1847. It is difficult to believe the miraculous and individual details of these exquisite dolls were achieved through needle-sculpting and paint alone. The artist who created the Family Bronte may be a mystery to us, but their talents are no mystery at all. |

Handcrafted
in England in the early, to mid-twentieth century, fine artistry was
employed throughout, resulting in facial details expressed through
subtle coloring. $5800.00 for the Family Bronte |

Frankly, we do not know much about the origins of this papier-mache Soldier, a product of France, who dates near the time of the Great War. We have handled several in this family, and each is as charming and expressive as the last. This fellow is no exception, with his bright blue eyes, painted hair, five-piece composition body (this one features a torso made of French newspaper), and nicely-made flannel costume, complete with matching cap. Measures: 16" tall $495.00 |
||
"Skookum" an "un-authentic Indian" doll circa 1920. Designed by Mary McAboy of Missoula, Montana, and manufactured by various companies, this eleven and one-half inch example retains his original wool blanket folded to simulate arms, wool felt trousers (replaced) with fringe and suede boots, while colorful beads encircle his neck. In good condition overall, he is lacking his headband and there is wear to the back of his black mohair wig. $135.00 |
||

Complete with a prominent Effanbee mark on her upper back, this little composition Hawaiian is a charmer! Measures: 7" tall $225.00 |

It is readily evident what is most unusual about this Lenci, a Series 400 example, and that is the clothing! This "fellow" is the definition of the term "dandy!" Most probably this doll is intended to be a girl who is dressed for a song and dance part on the stage, regardless, the overall effect is stunning. $3200.00 |
