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.
