The first day of Theriault’s weekend Marquis: Antique Doll Auction, to be held at the Fashion Island Hotel in Newport Beach, California, on January 12-13, is given over to the Margaret Lumia collection of antique dolls.
It ranges from early wood and papier mâché dolls to French bébés and poupées, and the rarest of the German bisque art characters, mostly in original costumes. There are also dolls’ houses and early dolls’ furniture.
