Come Visit The New FlorenceandGeorge.com In the early 1970s Florence and George Theriault cast off their lucrative and stable careers to open a small country auction house in rural Pennsylvania. They didn’t make more money, they made less. They didn’t work fewer hours, they worked more, but they were their own bosses.

Within ten years that small auction company became an internationally renowned antique auction firm.

Later Theriault’s moved to Annapolis, Maryland, and a sister company, Dollmasters, was founded by Florence and George.

Where Theriault’s would offer people unparalleled antique collectibles, Dollmasters presented collectors with a mix of hand-crafted art pieces and old store stock discovered by Florence and George as they toured the world gathering antiques. Dollmasters distinguished itself as the mail-order company that didn’t simply offer every item it could find; they picked and chose the ones they would be proud to have in their own homes.

Shopping couldn’t be easier at the great new Florence and George!

Better, faster, and still the name you’ve come to trust with F&G!

Four decades later, Dollmasters changed its name to Florence and George to celebrate the original entrepreneurial spirit of its founders. But like Dollmasters, Florence and George is still committed to offering you nothing we wouldn’t put in our homes. Florence and George: For collectors, by collectors.

T H E F RE N C H E N CYCLOP E D IA , T WO VO LUM E S E T

By François Theimer. English Edition edited by Florence Theriault. Readers will find this book informative and fascinating reading about French doll history of the 19th century up to 1925. This time period encompasses the pre-industrial era, the Industrial Revolution, the dawning of the 20th century and post WWI. Thousands of references to doll firms, inventors, stores, and actual dolls are arranged alphabetically within the 600 pages of this work, enabling collectors for the first time to research and document their antique doll treasures.

G ERMA N DO LL STUDI ES: H I STO RI C DO LL RESEA RCH F RO M TH E PUBLI SH ED ARCH I V ES O F CI ESLI K ’ S P U PPENMAG A Z I N The authors of the long out-of-print German Doll Encyclopedia are the publishers of Ciesliks Puppenmagazin, which was named The best doll magazine in the world at an international doll conference in Paris, France.

Unfortunately, that magazine was published in the German language and its wonderful research was a “closed book” to English language collectors. Good news!

An English language edition of important articles from that magazine is available in this deluxe hardbound edition. Its exceptional research will change many notions of “who made what” as well as solve many old mysteries. This is a must have book for any serious collector.

Hardbound with 332 pages and over 400 photographs, most of which are in color.

9” x 12”. BT-183. $75.

CHERISHED COLLECTION, ANTIQUE DOLLS & DOLL COSTUMES OF MADAME ANDREE PETYT Madame Andree Petyt, the elegant European lady whose collection was visited

by Belgian royalty, never played with dolls as a child. She came to dolls, she explained, through a love of fashion and an enduring fascination with doll costumes and the history of clothing those dolls personified.

This explains the particular vision of Madame Petyt whose extraordinary collection of rare dolls in exquisite costumes are featured in a full color commemorative hardbound book with historic references. 188 pages. Hardbound with value key. 8 ½” x 11”. BT-256. $75.

L ANDMA RK , TH E MA RG A RET LUMI A CO LLECTI O N } Only rarely do collections appear with such significance that they can rightfully be labeled legendary or lodestar. Or “Landmark”. Which is the auction title of the collection of Margaret Lumia. Chosen with a discerning eye, acquired with a dogged persistence, and nurtured carefully during their time in her care, her dolls offer today’s collectors a rare opportunity to see – and, perhaps win – a magnificent treasure from time past. The collection ranges from fine early wood and paper mache to superb French bébés and poupées, to the rarest of the German bisque art characters, mostly all in original costumes. There are dollhouses, early doll furniture, and more. Softbound.

10” x 10”. 204 pages. BT-346. $79.
