Berta Leon Hackney at five years when her collection began.

Introduction On her fifth birthday, Berta Leon Hackney was given a doll by her father. And a promise. Every week thereafter she could choose another doll to add to her collection. Thus, in the midst of the Depression Years, she, an only child, was blessed with this happy start to collecting that laid down the very foundation of her doll-filled home today. Growing up surrounded by dolls would be just the start. As Berta began her grown-up life, marrying Jay Leon, whose aristocratic family had fled from Madrid to New York and Texas during the Spanish Civil War, she began to spend more time in Mexico City where her husband’s steel business had brought the young couple. But that didn’t stop Berta from dolls! It was from there, in fact, that many of her prized pieces were discovered. In the 1950s Mexico City was a well-kept secret source of fabulous antiques from the estates of European émigrés. Amidst those, of course, were dolls. Every week Berta would find a new doll from these estates: French bébés, German characters, early porcelains and parians, and so forth, thereby continuing on her “doll a week” tradition. Her collection grew and grew. During that Lot #27. Gracing the cover of the “Only Child” catalog is a superb example of the rare H” doll by French maker, Aristide Halopeau. Featured in the auction are other very fine models of the sought-after Thuillier A.T. bébés, and exceptional examples of bébés by Bru, in rare sizes and models.

time she still kept her house in Hubbard. The dolls would be shipped there over the years and it was the place where her collection developed and was displayed until now.

This house in Hubbard is like no other, a stunning original Victorian home from the 19th century. Large high-ceiled rooms, winding staircases, rooms opening into other rooms so the surprises never end. And just to be sure she would have enough room for her collection, when a companion Victorian home right next door came on the market, Berta bought and restored that, too. And about this being Texas. Berta is true Texan. She is at once the consummate lady but at the same time spirited and tough, the distinctive woman in the front row wearing elegant clothing matched with boots, turquoise jewelry, and beaded jean jackets, smart, quick with a one-liner, can probably two-step with the best of ‘em or waltz in Vienna ballrooms, and will regale you with stories for hours – adding a laugh and twang that oozes charm. As proof, in the 1970s, long before women were routinely involved in politics, especially in Central Texas, she held the post of two-time mayor of Hubbard, perhaps one of the most “Texan” of towns you will ever ride into. By the 1980s Berta was well becoming established around the world as a major collector of

Lot #20. Berta Hackney related to Stuart Holbrook, “I lost out on this doll the first time it came to auction, and then years later it came back, and, by golly, I was determined to get it the second time.” And she did. The model is extremely rare, with sculpted and fantastically decorated Scottish tam, and even matching bisque shoes. Lot #5. Acquired by Berta Hackney from the famed Dina Vierney collection, the peddlar lady is notable not only for her exquisite wares and accessories, but also for her rare exotic complexion. She is preserved in original costume and wig, under original glass dome.

and having more time to interact with other doll lovers, she quickly became known and respected at auctions, clubs and conventions. And on her collecting went, never slowing in her pursuit of new treasures to add to the cases that now filled virtually every niche in her 18-room mansion. It seemed that the quest would never end. Then, as Stuart Holbrook, President of Theriault’s relates, the unexpected happened. “As I sat with Berta this past summer in her living room, drinking sweet tea and chatting in the same spot we had so many times over the years, I heard her say the words I never imagined I’d hear: ‘It’s time to sell my dolls and I want to see them go. I want to be part of their journey.’ ” And what dolls they are! Hundred and hundreds that range from exquisite French bébés and automata, to one of the most extensive collections of early porcelain and sculpted hair bisque ladies, from

Berta Leon Hackney today in Hubbard, Texas.

fully furnished dollhouses included an outstanding French chateau to German bisque characters, fine collection of French and German black dolls, a remarkable group of German handwind vignettes by Zinner and Sohne, fine mignonettes, and everything else you can imagine from rare peddler dolls to clowns with rare bisque character heads, to fine early dolls in their original costumes and boxes. It is true that the best collections capture the nature of their owner. And that is surely the case with the collection of Berta Leon Hackney. The collection, like the woman, is spirited yet elegant, refined yet sassy, eclectic, curious, rarified, and fine. A collection of substance. A woman of substance. x
