More than 500 lots are presented in this extraordinary 352 page full-color hardbound book. $75.
July 15: “Among Friends” The rarest German bisque art characters, gorgeous French bébés and their costumes, French poupées and trousseaux, American cloth and paper mache folk dolls of the highest order, many bearing blue ribbon presentation awards, were among the treasures sought and perfectly preserved by the prescient North Carolina couple. Coupling good taste with a passion for the curious and unique, the Welkers assembled a perfectly blended selection of antique childhood treasures. In addition, the auction offers the well-known private collection of Door of Hope dolls from research author, Mary Sicard. More than 400 lots are presented in the 200+ page full-color hardbound book. $75.
