INTRODUCTION

Apetite doll, one that fits in the palm of your hand, has always been the choice of the discerning Atlanta collector, Dr. Marilyn P. Dornbush, who for nearly half a century has been on the quest of the rare and the beautiful in this category. To describe these dolls as petite has a linguistic meaning as well, for the budding collection bloomed during visits to Paris in the 1980s where many of the rare treasures of her collection were acquired.

The collection is meticulous, chosen with particularity. While, at first gaze, the word “splendid” comes to mind, a true appreciation of the collection is only achieved by studying its many subtle nuances. Originality of costume, intricate hidden articulation systems, sizes of rare models that are virtually unknown are all descriptions that come to mind when viewing her hundreds of small bisque and all-bisque dolls from noted French and German doll firms of the 1870-1920 era. The collection also includes wonderful miniature furniture, porcelains, silver, and animals.

After spending her childhood in Illinois, Dr. Dornbush studied at Vanderbilt University and later Emory and Georgia State, eventually earning her PhD with a concentration on the study of children with neurological disorders and later co-authoring two important books, said to be groundbreaking, on the subject. In 1994 she accompanied her husband, Kirk Terry Dornbush, to the Hague in The Netherlands

upon his appointment as Ambassador, and then, in 1998, the couple relocated to Amsterdam and restored a 1670 six-floor canal house where they lived until returning to Atlanta in 2012. During those years she avidly pursued her serious quest of the rare and fine in small antique dolls and their surroundings, scouring the markets of Europe.

Yet, despite her remarkable presence in the world of dolls, (after all, winning 56 blue ribbons at UFDC annual conventions from 1993-2019), she has remained with a quiet charm, a private grace, which describes both the collector and her remarkable collection. x
