Soiree by Theriault's May 14th! Doll Mastery at its Best!

Below, in their own words, is Theriault's description of their May 14th auction, Soiree. I think the Doll Masters have outdone themselves with this one!  These dolls could have stepped out of the pages of my first and favorite doll books, authored by Eleanor St. George, Helen Young, Janet Johl, and others.  The variety is astounding; the Edison doll is definitely on my bucket list!  The rare ethnic costumes intrigue me, and the automatons are right up my alley of research!  The many music boxes and musical pieces remind me of my dear friend Nomi, an avid collector. Read below, and feast your eyes on the wonderful photos in the catalog.

Join the celebration at Theriault's Marquis auction "Soirée" this Saturday, May 14th in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Bellagio highlighted by important antique dolls, music boxes, and automata from the Ron and Mary Ellen Connor collection and featuring outstanding Martha Chase dolls from Carolyn Guise of Dayton, Ohio.
