In the early 1980s, Florence and George Theriault opened a small mail-order company, Dollmasters as a companion to their renowned auction house, Theriault's of Annapolis, Maryland.

From its beginning the firm specialized in memorabilia from vintage childhoods, designed for the adult collector. Now that it is time for a change, we couldn't pick a better name than "Florence & George."

Whatever the name, though, you'll find we have what you are looking for, because we don't just remember childhood, we revere it.

Maggie Iacono Dolls

RAINA BY MAGGIE IACONO To acquire a doll from this extraordinary American artist, Maggie Iacono, is a privilege - and a very limited one, at that, because her production is so very small. Take Raina, for instance. Only 40 examples of this doll will ever be made, limited not only by the artist's insistence on personal perfection, but also by the availability of the fine fabrics used in its making. Raina, of pressed and hand-painted wool felt, is 15 ½" tall, fully-jointed so she can skip through spring puddles in her handmade leather boots, or hold her goose-neck-handled umbrella aloft. Her silk-lined wool cap is colorfully embroidered with flowers and birds, and beneath she wears a wool felt dress with dupioni silk collar and sleeves.

Wee Forest Folk Florence & George is delighted to introduce a family of fanciful miniature mice, handcrafted in the USA. Annette Petersen crafted her first little mouse nearly four decades ago, and today is joined in the wee mouse world by Annette, Willy and Donna, the next generation of Petersens. They describe their creative process this way. "We make the mold, cast it, and a little mouse begins to emerge.

Meticulous hand-painting and an enormous amount of patience and time brings each sculpture to life". All of the Wee Forest Folks are hand-crafted entirely in the small town of Carlisle, Massachusetts.

THE NUTCRACKER SUITE A five-piece limited edition set from Wee Forest Folk representing the main characters of the renowned seasonal ballet; Clara, Fritz, the Mouse King, the Sugar Plum Fairy and, of course, the Nutcracker himself. Each piece is signed, numbered, and dated by the artist. Each 2". WF-024. $575 for the set of five.

HAT TRICK } You can't call it a snowman until you've placed a jolly top-hat on its head, so, as this young lad is learning, you need to make sure you don't make the snowman taller than you. 1 ½". WF-113. $115.

VISIONS OF SUGARPLUMS No question what these four little mice are dreaming about. When they wake, though, they'll probably slip on their little slippers, one pair for each of them, and check to see what's in their Christmas stockings.

STEINBACH'S CHRISTMAS DAY SCROOGE What day's Scrooge is this? Why it's Christmas Day Scrooge of course. Nothing motivates an old curmudgeon to find the spirit of seasonal charity like being visited by four ghosts who show him what happens to the uncharitable. Though the original story has Scrooge sending a turkey to the Cratchit home anonymously, the Steinbach Scrooge has decided he prefers a bit of recognition or, perhaps a drumstick, as he is carrying a freshly (wood) carved turkey and a basket full of goodies. 11th in the Christmas Carol series. 18".

Bavarian Pewter Art GERMAN PEWTER CHRISTMAS TREE This grand-sized German pewter Christmas tree is perhaps the tallest free-standing soft-metal Christmas decoration Florence & George has ever offered. Among the hand-painted details hidden in the tree are ten candles and a tiny angel lighting them, 30 different ornaments, an assortment of toys including a rocking horse, a doll, a teddy bear, and a drum set and finally, if you look closely, you'll even find a tiny squirrel trying to commandeer one of the decorative pine cones. 10 ½". Color variations may occur.

Utilizing techniques over two centuries old each piece is handcast in Germany from molds that were handsculpted, and each individual piece is entirely handpainted.

ORNAMENTS Unlike our other German pewter soft-metal figurals our assortment of ornaments is smaller and lighter (they don't possess weighted bases to stand on their own) and they all have small loops, often hidden inside the design of the piece itself, making them perfect for your tree (color variations may occur).
