Description
"Remembrances" Marquis Antique Doll Auction January 10, 2026. Landmark Auction Featuring Part One of the Renowned Fran and Charles Ciraolo Collection.
The auction is rightfully titled “Remembrances” as collectors will surely remember many of the dolls from previous landmark auctions which Fran and Charles Ciraolo had attended, and which are certain to kindle dreams once again of “the ones that got away”. Highlighting the collection are extraordinary French bébés from every illustrious French dollmaker including Leon Casimir Bru, Andre Thuillier, Aristide Halopeau, Jules Steiner, Schmitt et Fils, Gaultier, Mothereau, Petit et Demoutier, Emile Jumeau and more, along with the very rare and historically important art character doll of Albert Marque. The beautiful Jumeau Triste model is delightfully appearing in every size, from the smallest size 9 to the very rare size 16. Too, the art character dolls of German firms have had special meaning to the couple with important examples from every notable firm. Although the 300-lot auction focuses on French bébés and German art characters, there are, too, other delights from French automata to Italian studio dolls including Lenci and Burgarella, and American celebrity compositions. 8.5" x 11". Softbound.
