Extremely rare French fashion doll by Benoit Louis Martin, whose deluxe body style and articulation caused a stir in 1860 and still does to this day, if you can be fortunate enough to acquire one! She is 18” of statuesque beauty w/ her early pale bisque shoulder head and lower arms, a highly polished, fully articulated wood body w/ metal-plated hip joints for ease of movement. Her finely made silk plaid walking suit is lovely, as is her white cotton peignoir and added accessorized touches, however, she doesn’t mind being displayed in a way that her enviable brass oval chest medal can be exposed and appreciated! $22,900.

La Boutique Fantasque Auction Team Breker November 5, 2016 he discovery of a previously unknown model is always cause for excitement. In 1989 a Kämmer & Reinhardt 105 art character doll made headlines when it sold at Sotheby’s New Bond St. for a new record price of £ 90,200. Not only was the sum astonishing for a toy (albeit a very rare antique one), but the doll was not, according to the English daily press, conventionally attractive. Five years later Sotheby’s sold a unique Kämmer & Reinhardt 108 character doll for £ 188,500. Time passes and interest in collecting changes. Some areas experience an upsurge, others a downturn. It is interesting to note that the same doll broke the world record price a second time when it brought £ 242,500 at Bonhams in September 2014. On November 5, 2016 Auction Team Breker of Cologne, Germany, will be offering an exceptional discovery in the field of musical automata. The Figure, which appears in Gustave Vichy’s catalogue as the “Eccentric Clown”, is believed to be the only surviving example of this model (shown here). Maison Vichy described the automaton thus: “An eccentric clown is seated on the back of a a chair, he turns his legs, shrugs and beats on a casserole pot to make fun of its owner. He moves his lips to sing, blinks and lifts his three-pointed wig. Lively and animated movements. A most original piece. Rich and sophisticated costume. A mechanical piece playing two airs. Deposed by G. & H. Vichy. Height 1 meter.” At first glance, the description does not seem exceptional, until one considers the automaton’s size. One meter (almost 40 inches) is unusually large even for Vichy, who created grander and more complex figures than any of his contemporaries. Then there are so many intriguing details: the clown is playing a French casserole pot as though it were a banjo, is melancholy and yet appears amused. Even his hair seems to possess a life of its own.

In 1893 Emile Bayard illustrated the automaton besides two of Vichy’s most famous creations, the “Lune Fin de Siecle” (29 inches) and the Japanese “Marchande des Masques” (34 inches), for Léo Claretie’s Les Jouets, Histoire-Fabrication, though even here there is relatively little to go on (above). The appearance of Vichy’s “Eccentric Clown” finally puts a face to the name, and it is indeed an eccentric face. His nose and chin are decorated with the first four letters of the alphabet and on his cheeks are painted an exclamation mark and a question mark, as though the clown himself does not know whether he is asking a question or making a statement. Equally puzzling is his performance for, though he holds the copper casserole like a banjo, he beats it noisily like a drum, shrugging, singing and tapping his heels together as his wig bounces up and down (estimate: € 25,000 – 30,000). Presented in full original costume, the automaton and his brother, ‘Auguste’, were discovered in a Mexican villa in 2010. The villa’s 19th century owners had emigrated from France under the presidency of Porfirio Díaz and filled their house with European furniture and works of art. The second automaton (left), known as “Sonnette de l’Entracte” (or “The Intermission Bell”), clearly struck a chord with Claretie who described it in some detail: “This famous clown attracted great crowds. Children were on their best behavior when they were promised a visit to see him, and indeed he was well worth the trouble, for he had a most pleasing appearance. Auguste is seated on a white stool, his left leg folded under his right knee, and he plays the guitar (sic). After a pause, the head of the artist droops, the eyes blink sleepily...the arm again falls inert, the music stops, the clown sleeps. Suddenly a bell resounds and rouses him, his fingers begin again to strum furiously in shame over his drowsiness...until the next spell of sleepiness from which the next sounding of the bell will waken him.” Antique DOLL Collector

A look into the mechanism reveals some of Auguste’s secrets: an intermittent gear that pauses the music just as the clown appears to fall asleep and a paper roll ‘zither’ on the musical box comb that reproduces the sound of a banjo (estimate: € 20,000 – 30,000). Another automaton that sleeps while he should be working is the Monkey Huntsman “au au Repos du Chasseur” by Jean-Marie Phalbois (above). Reclining with his pipe and a bottle of excellent wine beneath a blossoming tree, the huntsman fails to notice the rabbit running back and forth in a hollow below. The automaton, preserved in fine original costume beneath a glass dome, has been in the same private collection since the early 1970s (estimate: € 6,000 – 8,000). Roullet et Decamps’ elegant “Espagnole” (or “Spanish Dancer”) also spent many 24

years in one family and is presented in near-mint original costume with her original factory box (estimate: € 5,000-8,000) (above). Roullet et Decamps specialised in the production of ‘surprise’ automata concealed in everyday items: rabbits in cabbages, children in roses and kittens in milk churns. A rare model, the “Pâté Surprise”, depicts a diminutive pastry chef hiding inside a papier-mâché brioche (right). In French cuisine, the “Pâté (or Pain) Surprise” is a pastry casing filled with cut sandwiches, the traditional accompaniment to champagne at a wedding reception. The illusion of an actual brioche is heightened by realistic modeling and painting and it is tempting to imagine a host arranging the automaton at the center of his dining table and then setting it in motion to surprise and delight his guests. The innocent expression on the chef’s Size 1 Jumeau bisque head makes the illusion all the more mysterious (estimate: € 4,000 - 6,000).

An Unexpected Antique:

The Dolls’ House That Started My Collection by Elizabeth Bentley Hamilton

t was my love of reading that opened the door to doll’s house collecting. A number of years ago I ordered a new book directly from a publishing house and inside, surprisingly, was a ﬂyer from Theriault’s. Unrelated to the subject-matter of the book, that ﬂyer featured a tall dolls’ house from France to be sold at their next auction. It immediately caught my eye and one telephone bid later it was mine, a 26th wedding anniversary gift from my late husband, which makes this house even more special! Thus for me, the joy of collecting antique doll’s houses, their period-appropriate dolls and furnishings, began by chance! Although fashioned by hand towards the end of the 19th century, this French dolls’ house with its steepled roof and a chimney on each side, is similar in its height and shape to others of that time period. Examples can be found in several paintings from that era of children seated or lying down in front of their tall dolls’ house playing with small dolls and pieces of furniture, thus depicting part of family life in the late 1800s.

Almost 5 feet in height, this French dolls’ house from the late 1800s shows its Normandy inﬂuence in the tall windows and applied trim. 38

Constructed of yellow pine, this three storey townhouse measures just under five feet tall including its rather substantial attached base, and is 32” in width with a depth of 17”. Its exterior paint is original, as are the early glass tall windows which decorate the facade along with an applied wooden door. The body of the house is painted deal, an early English name for a yellow-tan color, while the roof and base are a medium blue. The trim and front door are rufous, the color of Spring fawns and fox sparrows. The back of the house presents an attic for storage above two hinged long panels which when unlocked, open to reveal an interior having six rooms, four of which have a built-in fireplace, and a central hallway on the lower of three floors. Wallpapers, curtains, and draperies of velvet or silk helped to designate the appointment of each room. A wide band of bubble wrap fastened around the house provided its name - “La Maison de Poupee,” written in black marker, simply said it all! The rooms contained packages of bubble wrapped treasures - a variety of paintings, Biedermeier furniture, artifacts of ormolu, china and glass, as well as

Once unlocked, the two vertical back panels may be opened wide or easily removed by lifting them above two sets of side hooks.

Attics are wonderfully exciting places to children, and these two little girls, one all-bisque and the other a china-head, are no exception. A good-natured peg-wooden dressed in her original regional attire watches over them. Their adventure ends with the happy discovery of an old wooden doll seated in front of a red trunk, ready to begin a new life as the shared possession of two best friends!

“Grandma-ma”, an elegant china-head lady from 1850, wearing her ornate black lace dress and ruby-drop lavalier, is pleased to lend her townhouse for the wedding preparations. She is enjoying her visit over tea with a delicate peg-wooden elderly lady from 1810. The bride’s mother, a bisque doll with brown glass eyes wearing a striped silk dress and pink plumed hat, greets two newly arrived guests. 40

various items for the kitchen including a scale with sized weights, a lavabo, a rugbeater, and the forerunner of the 20th century fly-swatter – a rare 19th century “flychaser” with its ivory spindle handle and long strips of leather! Various dogs and cats appeared as did a wax parrot and an early hardto-find Nuremberg rooster! Of the many wall-hangings unwrapped, two appear to have a meaningful history with an early owner of this house as they are both entirely made and painted by hand. One is an “ancestral portrait” on cardboard, while the other, a landscape of lawn and mountains on chalky plaster, may be of a favorite view. Both are hanging in the Red Room. The last of the carefully wrapped packages contained a collection of dolls - Simon and Halbig and Kestner bisques from the 1880s, high-brow china-heads from 1850, papier maches from 1840, whimsical early pegwoodens from 1820 and bewigged dolls of wax ca. 1850. Each doll presented its own personality, and all were to be admired. While I appreciated each and every doll I unpacked, two in particular held my attention. The first, “Grandma-ma”, a matriarchal-looking chinahead lady with a reserved manner, wearing her original beaded black lace dress and imposing necklace, was obviously important and must be the “poupee” to whom this townhouse belongs. Individual tea tables were therefore set up in the Red Room which became a reception area where she

could greet her guests, and favored ones could be seated for tea with her. The second, a lovely bisque bride doll with ﬂowers atop her ﬂowing veil, inspired the theme of “Wedding Day Preparations” which determined the subsequent arrangement of the entire dolls’ house! Once the theme was settled everything fell into place so easily it made me wonder if this house had always been centered about the bride, but there is no mention of early decor in the following provenance of “La Maison de Poupee”, as given in a letter written in French by its previous owner. The house is from Normandy, where it was kept for many years in Bourbonnais, a former duchy and a province of Central France. It was acquired from the Abbey of Saint Gilbert by Monsieur Larat, who wished to have it for his exposition gallery. Saint Gilbert is a small village not far from Saint Pourcoin in the region of Allier, located above Clermont-Ferrand, the capitol of the mountainous province of Auvergne. The Crusades began in that part of France with the formation of the First Crusade at ClermontFerrand in 1096. In 1979 the previous owner visited the gallery and purchased the dolls’ house and its contents from Monsieur Larat. She kept it for almost twenty years before placing it for auction. Wonderfully skilled with needle and thread, she went on to write that one change she made was to re-cover the large Biedermeier halftester bed in beautiful white decorated silk fabric from

Three seated young ladies just old enough to be invited upstairs are thrilled to be “at tea”! An ancestral framed portrait, hand-made and painted many years ago, hangs in a place of prominence on the wall behind them.

Standing near the prie-Dieu the maid of honor, a wax over wood doll from Germany, joins the ﬂowergirl and ring-bearer in admiring the beautiful bride! With her silk sewing basket nearby, a papier-mache seamstress with an Apollo-knot hairstyle checks to see if last-minute stitches are needed before the bridesmaids arrive. The large Biedermeier bed behind them was entirely re-covered by the previous owner in rare decorated white silk fabric from the time of Louis XV. ANTIQUE DOLL COLLECTOR

the time of Louis XV. Sewn to perfection, the original covering of red brocade is only visible along the bottom edge of the bed when it is held above eye-level. This bed, larger in scale but not unappealingly so, is in the top-floor bedroom which has for this occasion been turned over to the bride and her attendants. Her groom, a handsome bisque doll dressed in his original regional attire is sequestered in the first floor library, far away from his bride-to-be!

The second ﬂoor bedroom is being used both as a salon where ladies may powder and primp before going upstairs, and as a nursery under the care of an attentive tuckcomb wearing her white apron and sleeve-protectors. Small dolls for play rest on a child’s size couch. Under a framed 18th century likeness of Marie Antoinette, an Evans and Cartwright table has a tiny Grodnertal lady in a fancy dress and bonnet under a glass dome! A small book of French verse published in 1880 lies on a Rock and Graner chair near the dresser.

A French kitchen is always a well-stocked place of activity! While the scullery maid sweeps, the cook and her helper prepare quantities of desserts. Soothed by wonderful baking aromas, the nearby baby sleeps soundly in her basket. Kettles, pans, molds, pitchers and Treenware cover the kitchen, leaving little space to even put a pot down! A rare Nuremberg rooster with all tiny feathers intact warily eyes two china kittens drinking their milk. From his lofty perch atop an early Bing ladder he has a temporary feeling of security. 42

A captivating French Lilliputian toddler seated in a soft metal highchair lovingly holds her own tiny bisque doll!

Gold Dresden papers edge the Prussian blue textured wallpapers, while deep sapphire blue silk draperies hanging from an ormolu pelmet frame the window of the Blue Room. An 18th century crystal chandelier with its vibrant blue candles and the tall crystal candelabrum by the window are elegant additions, as is the inlaid wood sideboard with its rare tea service of striped Bristol glass. An antique miniature landscape painted on ivory hangs on the back wall of this formal yet inviting room.

A mischievous child trying to elude her older sister has discovered a dog hiding under the table! Behind the early lace tablecloth part of a Biedermeier sofa is visible, as is the canary in his soft metal cage. A complete set of ormolu service in its tray on the end of the dining table awaits the attention of a maid. Chinese-blue beads are featured in the design of the glass-beaded Victorian rug.

A dear peg-wooden dressed in her best silk ﬁnery, and whose orange cotton petticoat is showing, admires the table setting. On the wall behind her is a watercolor painting under glass above a chest displaying a set of very early hobnail goblets. A charming Meissen china cupid stands in front of an English-marked silver basket of fruit prepared for added enjoyment.

Instead of greeting the arriving guests, a distracted maid chases the startled Viennese bronze cat and dog away from the upset parrot hanging in his cage, which is depended from the wall sconce! The soft metal jardiniere against the opposite wall has its own cup suspended from an attached hook for the purpose of watering the Viennese bronze potted ﬂowers.

The shy-looking young girl peeking from under her straw bonnet is a very sweet English poured-wax doll with bead eyes, a pale pink mouth and barely deﬁned facial features. Obviously well taken care of through the years, her wax is as smooth and lustrous as if poured yesterday! ANTIQUE DOLL COLLECTOR

The father of the bride hosts the nervous groom, who is seated within reach of his wine glass, and the arriving groomsmen in the library. Watch-fob in hand, Father checks the schedule with the housekeeper. This comfortable room is conducive to reading with its basket of French newspapers and ﬁne assortment of books housed in an English bookcase against the back wall, once part of the Vivien Greene Collection. On this day however, all thoughts are turned to the upcoming celebration!

The groom, feeling temporarily stressed, has slumped onto a nearby chair. He is dressed in the traditional regional wedding outﬁt of silk striped pants, red-silklined dark blue jacket, a cambric shirt and jabot with antique glass buttons.

As Grandma-ma’s well-trained staff know their duties and each room has been prepared in advance for its designated purpose, the day is effortlessly running along on schedule. After a delightful tea and piano recital in the Red Room, guests will be invited for desserts and refreshments in the elegant Blue Room, before departing for the ﬂower-ﬁlled Church to the sound of its pealing bells! A festive reception will follow. Just as my childhood dolls’ house provided years of entertainment when I was small, this unexpectedly introduced dolls’ house has given me much joy as an adult and I have added greatly to its contents. The most precious additions are those from my daughters Elizabeth and Catherine, and the most sentimental is a beautiful French mignonette, the last gift given to me by my late mother, making this house so dear to my heart. While some of the contents may have changed through the years, the wedding theme has not, for “La Maison de Poupee” was, after all, a wedding anniversary gift containing a starry-eyed bride doll!

Loofah trees provide a background for three charming mignonettes, each entirely original and perfect in every detail. Termed “pocket dolls”, or “poupee de poche”, the last of the three with her long braids and endearing expression is the most cherished, as she is the last present given to me by my late mother. A stately dachshund leads the way around to the front door while a care-free dog scampers along behind. Soon the pealing of wedding bells will call one and all to the church on this special day!

his year brought some exciting changes to the competitive exhibits. Instead of dividing the exhibits into Antique and Modern, dolls were placed according to their classification, example, wood, china, cloth, etc. Exceptions to this were the Parian-type, French and German bisque dolls, categories which excluded reproduction dolls. Our focus was naturally on the antique dolls. As usual, there were so many exceptional dolls to view and study making this an unequalled opportunity to learn. The highlight tours where judges explain the criteria used to determine ribbon winners in each category are especially enlightening.

uring the nineteenth century ordering toys to be sold in an American store meant perusing 200-page, hardcover “catalogues” filled with hand-colored engraved images of more than 2,400 toys that were hand-crafted in Germany – the Toy Center of the World – specifically for an American audience. A rare example of such a catalogue from the 1840s along with approximately 50 toys from the Colonial Williamsburg collections that directly relate to it is the basis for a new exhibition, German Toys in America, which will open on October 29, 2016, at the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, one of the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg. The exhibition, the first major show focused on these wooden and papier maché toys, will be on view through August 2018. Among the highlights of German Toys in America is the toy sample book of the firm of Gi Mohrhard Father & Son, Nuremberg, Germany, ca. 1840. The majority of the morethan-2,400 toys represented within the rare volume were probably made in Thuringia, while others came from regions in Bavaria and Saxony, Germany. All of the toys to be displayed with it were made between 1840 and 1880. Most are made of wood or wood and papier maché; a few have paper and a few include leather (the bellow of the squeak toys). Each of the toys has a corresponding image in the catalogue, and a digital copy of the entire book will be shown so exhibition visitors can flip through all the pages. While merchants aimed to offer toys at all price points (from as little as a few cents to more than $50), the toys in German Toys in America, were on the lower end of the scale and targeted towards the middle class. The exhibition at the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, one of the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg , opens on October 29, and will be on view through August 2018.

The story under discussion is headlined: “Flossie Prepares for Thanksgiving Day.” The ﬁrst frame shows the four actors: A little girl with her hair pulled back and braided into pigtails that are standing up into the air and are tied with big bows. Also seen are her friends, a dog dancing, a rabbit sitting on his haunches and a cat, gesturing toward the girl. In the second frame they are standing around the kitchen stove. In the fourth frame the stove pipe explodes! Obviously, with such action, the children would get involved quickly. They were encouraged to submit their stories to Miss Helene Nyce in care of the Ladies Home Journal together with a self addressed, stamped envelope. Prizes were given for the best stories. “Flossie Fisher’s Funnies” became very “Flossie Fisher’s Funnies, The novelty of the Season, Imported by Geo. Borgfeldt & Co.,” as reported and illustrated by “Pottery, Glass and Brass Salesman,” dated February 24, 1916.

popular. During the first two years of publication Helene Nyce and her mother, Vera Nyce, received over 50,000 letters from their young enthusiasts and 15,000 boys and girls belonged to the Flossie Fisher Club. “Flossie Fisher’s Funnies” was published from 1910 – 1918. On February 24, 1916 an editorial in the “Pottery, Glass and Brass Salesman” announced that “the greatest novelty of the season in the china field is the line of ‘Flossie Fisher’s Funnies’ now on show in the china showrooms of Geo. Borgfeldt & Co.” It further stated that there were plates for babies, children’s sets and even doll sets. The editorial also mentioned items for grownups and that the black silhouettes of the chinaware were decorated with green, pink, blue and yellow. I discovered a children’s teaset on eBay and learned that it was produced in Germany by Royal Prussia Rudolstadt. I also discovered that the George Borgfeldt Co. offered tin doll house furniture for sale, decorated with the Flossie Fisher silhouettes. Apparently, the base color for the furniture was always yellow. The doll house furniture was sold as candy containers. Finding the pottery editorial was a strike of good luck. It revealed that it was the Borgfeldt Company who had been authorized to produce all these Flossie Fisher novelties including the doll. It meant that now I could check my Borgfeldt file to see what else I could locate. In a Playthings ad dated February 1916, “Flossie Fisher’s Own Doll” was introduced with great fanfare. The ad illustration shows her in an identical jumper outfit as my doll plus a bonnet. The company proudly stated that the doll was American made and produced exclusively for Borgfeldt by the K & K Toy Co. ANTIQUE DOLL COLLECTOR

The Flossie Fisher doll was also advertised in January and February of 1917. There she is shown in a flowered dress that is decorated with the silhouette border at hem, waist and wrists. The outfit is completed with a mob cap of the same material. It would be nice if a doll dressed in this outfit could be found. For those who would like to follow up on Helene Nyce more closely, Wickipedia had more information. Helene Nyce trained as a graphic artist and received a diploma in illustration from the Philadelphia Museum School in 1910. Most of her life was Half page of Playthings ad dated January 1917, showing “Flossie Fisher’s Own Doll” in dress and mob spent illustrating books and cap. This outfit has not been seen before. working for leading American magazines like Ladies Home Journal, American Woman Magazine, Junior Home Magazine and Junior World Journal. Helene Nyce’s mother was a writer and sometimes they collaborated on projects. In 1917 J. B. Lippincott published two of their books: “The Adventures of the Greyfur Family” and The “Greyfur’s Neighbors.” In 1913, Frederick Stokes Co. published “Flossie Fishers Funnies” in book form. Helene Nyce died in 1969 at the age of 84.
