We are still here!

Returning from the Arizona trip this week and we will be back to normal hours next week.

French Bisque Doll Sells For Over a Quarter of a Million Dollars

This rare French doll, circa 1914, sculpted by artist Albert Marque (Mark) sold for $263,000 and set a new world record July 12, 2009 at a Theriault’s auction. The French bisque doll is one of a set of 100 commissioned by Marque in the early 20th century. It is believed that only 20 to 25 of these dolls still exist today. The previous record was $215,000 in 2003 for a similar Albert Marque doll.

With it's original human hair wig and elaborate silk and velvet clothing, this is an example of the highest quality a collector can expect to find.

One might think it's crazy to try and sell this doll at auction in the current economic conditions, but quite the opposite. The top quality always brings the top prices, no matter what the economic climate. Truly serious collectors are focused on obtaining the highest quality possible and to them it isn't about the numbers or the dollars, it is about the quality. This doll is certainly the top quality and that was proven by the record breaking price. The auction was won by a collector from Boston.

I would have loved to have been at that auction!
