Theriault’s president Stuart Holbrook shares the story behind great doll collections, the thrill of the chase at auction and how to build a collection with your own signature style.
Welcome to our first episode of The Doll Podcast with Stuart Holbrook president of Theriault’s Auctions. In it’s over fifty years Theriault’s has sold some of the most precious dolls and toys.
Stuart travels the world in search of dolls for discerning collectors. We catch up with Stuart in Vienna, Austria where he is working on the sale of collector Hanne Büktas’s final collection of rare 17th and 18th century Neapolitan, Bavarian, Tyrollean, French and Genovese wood dolls, their costumes and accessories. The dolls are presented in intricate scenes that create their own miniature world whether it be a rustic village scene from the Tyrol or the elegant French court. Stuart explains that it is possible that this collection “will change the face of doll collecting forever.”
Stuart also advises on how to build a great collection of antique or modern dolls. He talks about the great American story behind the Madame Alexander company and what dolls we should be buying now.
It’s an informative and fun filled conversation where we also touch on how collector’s mutual interest in dolls is helping many of us unite and feel a little joy at a time when the world is struggling to stay well and safe.
