Please enjoy looking through our first Fine Doll, Dolls' House, Teddy Bear and Traditional Toy auction of the year. We have a large selection of pieces in over 1000 lots. At the heart is a private collection of early dolls and dolls' house pieces. This collection also includes 19th century portraits of children, samplers, antiques and a good group of porcelain and pottery pug dogs! The star lot of the auction is a very special Steiff Teddy Clown consigned by the granddaughter of the original owner.
We are currently consigning for future 2026 'Dolls, Teddy Bears and Traditional Toys' Auctions. For further information, please email DollsandTeds@specialauctionservices.com, Daniel@specialauctionservices.com or call 01635 580595.
