Erika Steiner, founder of the Stein am Rhein Doll Museum.

Introduction The Stein am Rhein Doll Museum of Switzerland Nearly fifteen years ago, in the small Swiss village of Stein am Rhein, Frau Erika Steiner turned out the lights, closed and bolted the doors, and locked the window shutters of her beloved doll museum that had stood for years on a small cobblestone pedestrian street in this quaint locale. She would never open again. Founded in 1984, the Museum had been a doll lover’s landmark, not only in its own village, but throughout the world. It had been featured in many magazine articles including the prestigious Cieslik’s Puppenmagazin, and visitors from France, the

Scandinavian countries, the United States and Japan, had thronged to it. Housed in a 400 year old building, the Museum achieved the feel of a real home, inhabited by hundreds of tranquil, yet lively, small folk. Erika Steiner scoured Europe for rare treasures to add to the Museum, choosing always the perfect “specimen” that would both meet her exacting standards and also fit into the scheme of the showcases. Her treasures ranged from the most sought after Albert Marque doll to little porcelain bathing beauties, and her dolls were surely warmed by the wonderful collection of toy stoves, entertained by theatres and toy stores, and, secretly at night one

supposes, delighted in midnight rides on wonderful coaches or even the real carousel horse that centered the collection. Although the Museum opened in 1984, Frau Steiner’s collection had begun many years earlier. She related, “I was always a good Sunday child”, noting that she loved simple pleasures of painting and drawing. Although fashion design was her desired occupation, the war years foiled her plans, for it was impossible to travel to Paris to study. Switzerland, she said, “was an island surrounded by war”. It was this penchant for fashion that later led to an interest in fashion dolls, and then, soon thereafter, all types of dolls and the clothes they wore. Thus, unsurprisingly, collectors in visiting the Museum, were always rapt in attention, not only to the dolls, but also to their costumes and accessories.

The Museum held its place of honor for fifteen years, but finally Frau Steiner was forced to realize that her ailing health could not allow her to continue. It was, after all, a one-woman endeavor, and she felt that without her daily oversight, the vision would fade. And so, her mind made up, she simply closed and bolted the doors. For the next fifteen years, mystery surrounded this museum, for when Frau Steiner took down her signs she also vanished from the doll world. For years people talked about it, wondered what happened, speculated that the dolls were now in storage, or had been sold intact to one collector in a faraway part of the world. There was even an old web site that documented all of the known Albert Marque dolls across the world and cited “the lost #27 that

was part of the Stein am Rhein Puppenmuseum of past” and asked collectors to “please help us find out whatever happened to this doll and to the museum.” Tales ran amok. But, in fact, the dolls had quietly sat there, tended each week, year after year, by a neighboring caretaker and family members, and visited only by Frau Steiner herself, who, in truth, could not bear to part with her museum although she was no longer able to welcome others. In time, the tales stopped and memories faded. Then, one day, several years ago, the Steiner family contacted Theriault’s and told them that, in fact, the dolls still sat in the

very same location and had not been touched in all this time. Everything was as it was when the doors closed. They were just starting to consider the possibility that the dolls should be auctioned. At the time, Frau Steiner was alive but having difficulty checking on the museum each week. However, knowing that the dolls were there was enough for her and everyone decided to let it be for now so that she could still enjoy the thought that her beloved museum still stood as it was. Stuart Holbrook recalls that first meeting, “I will never forget the doors opening the first time I visited. Large wood gates creaked and squealed on that foggy and damp March afternoon. I peered into the darkened room as the family found the light switch. The first thing I saw was a sign publishing the entrance fee, proving just how long the museum

had been closed. It gave the amount in Swiss Francs - but next to it also offered the alternative of “5 Deutsch Marks.” I could barely recall what a Deutsch mark even looked liked.” “Though I had heard whispers over the years of the fabulous dolls that Frau Steiner had collected, the reality was even better. Two floors were completely full of classic and splendidly rare French and German dolls and unusual accessories and playthings. The museum stood as a time capsule of perfection…one of the best I had ever seen in Europe. This was a perfectly assembled cross-section of everything collectors have come to love today in the world of fine and rare antique dolls.” And there at the entrance stood the all-original A. Marque doll, the so-called “lost #27”, its costume bearing the desirable MargaineLacroix label.

Holbrook continued, “After a few moments the cases were lit and the bounty was further unveiled to me, the first outsider in years to witness what was here. Bébés by Thuillier, Halopeau, Bru, Jumeau, Steiner, Schmitt, Petit et Dumoutier, and others. Poupées large and small, automatons and rare German characters…an endless vault that stood exactly as it had on that day 15 years when the museum closed.” Now the moment has arrived. After Frau Steiner’s passing last year, her family determined that the museum must go back into the hands of collectors. As she was a keeper of the dolls, so others could now take her place in the parade of history. x

Comments: France, circa 1916, designed by noted Parisian sculptor Albert Marque. During the early 20th century a deliberate and highly-motivated movement was afoot in France to re-invigorate the French doll industry, the movement involving sculptors, porcelain firms, fashion designers and virtually the entire art community. Toward that end, important artists, most notably Albert Marque, but also including Poulbot, Van Rozen, and others were commissioned to design a new type of doll, one that reflected the actual expressions and moods of childhood, rather than the idealized bébés of the late 19th century. Even the bodies were uniquely designed for the dolls, rather than using stock models; in the case of the Albert Marque doll, the body was sculpted by his fellow artist, Aristodeme Botta, who aimed to create a child’s body for a doll that “combined the strength and grace typical of that age”. The artistic doll of Albert Marque was first presented at an exclusive exhibition at the fashion boutique of Parisian art patron, Margaine-Lacroix. It is believed that only 100 models of the Marque doll were created, most inscribed with their particular number in the series, this being #27. Value Points: exceptionally fine example of the very rare and most sought doll, having superior sculpting and painting of complexion and features, original perfect body, and wearing original couturier-sewn costume bearing the original cloth label of Margaine-Lacroix where the doll was first presented. The doll was considered the keynote piece of the Stein am Rhein Museum, where it resided for nearly half a century. $175,000/225,000
