Introduction

D

uring the mid-1800s, centuries-old cameo art had a grand resurgence, incidentally at the very time that the sculpted bisque and

porcelain doll was coming into prominence. Today we can reflect on these two art forms as the cameo and the doll come, quite literally, face to face. More than 500 rare and wonderfully-preserved dolls are presented in the two day auction event ranging from an extraordinary early Continental wooden doll in impeccable original court costume to rare French poupées and bébés to German bisque and cloth art character dolls and mignonettes. Too, the applauded celebrity doll collection of Peggy Yale includes many examples with autographs from the celebrities themselves. And there are the cameos themselves, a superb one-owner collection from a well-known Virginia collector featuring profile portraits and vignettes alike. x
