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.
