The Legendary Theriault’s January Auctions Continue January 8, 9 and 10, 2016 at the Fairmont Hotel in Newport Beach, California

Theriault’s legendary “January Auctions” are known for their presentation of the best, the different, and the discovery of long-lost collections. The January 9th and 10th, 2016 auctions keep that legend alive in grand form. Whether collectors are seeking the best of the classic French and German bisque dolls, whether their quests have taken them to earlier times in a search for rare wooden or wax dolls, if the magic of automata is their desire, or early folk art American dolls and toys, whether they seek the “something different” such as 150-year old wooden Japanese dolls, “January” with Theriault’s in Newport Beach, California is the place to me.

The Legendary Theriault’s January Auctions Continue January 8, 9 and 10, 2016 At the Fairmont Hotel in Newport Beach, CA

Saturday, January 9, 2016 A Marquis Auction “Forever Young” Featuring the fine collection of early dolls gathered by Alice Florence Schott in the early/mid-1900s and later bequeathed to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art where they have been carefully preserved for the past 45 years. Along with other fine French bisque dolls and automata from private collections and original French estates. Highlighted by a superb all-original French bisque art doll by Albert Marque, with life-long provenance, and lettered #7 from the series of only 100 dolls which were first presented in 1914/1915 at the Parisian salon of Margaine-Lacroix.

Sunday, January 10, 2016 Superb One-Owner Auction “The Carabet Collection” of Antique Japanese Dolls Norman Carabet of California spent decades in the acquisition and study of these fine carved wooden dolls, some dating to the late 1700s, and others paralleling the style of Western dolls in the late 1800s. Playful children, elegant and fashionable ladies, theatrical figures, legendary heroes – all are represented here, and offer both connoisseur collectors as well as those with budding interest in the Japanese doll genre, a window to this important, yet still under-appreciated, field. “The textiles, fabrics, costumes and needlework alone will astonish those who do not yet know these dolls,” assures Florence Theriault, who has catalogued the book, in consultation with noted Japanese doll scholar and author, Alan Scott Pate. 2

“Forever Young” The Saturday Auction Featuring a Fine Collection of Dolls from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art The Alice Florence Schott Collection of rare early dolls has not been longlost, but rather lost-in-plain-sight. Bequeathed to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (of which Alice Schott was one of the founders) in the mid-1900s, the dolls have been carefullypreserved in the museum archives for decades, and are now being sold, with the blessing of the Schott family descendants, to aid the museum in their “acquisition of fine arts rather than folk arts”, and to allow others to acquire and appreciate the dolls rather than keeping them stored and seen infrequently. Keynote in the Alice Florence Schott collection, to be sold on Saturday, January 9 in an auction titled “Forever Young”, are dolls that aptly fit the genre of folk art, an extraordinary collection of early wooden, cloth and paper mache dolls, toys and ephemera are shown here, and include not only examples of German and English carved wooden ladies with very fine early costumes seldom found today, but also American folk hand-carved toys and American cloth dolls such as those of Izannah Walker (including a rare 13” size), likely similar to those with which Alice Florence Schott was familiar in her early Nebraska childhood where she was born in 1881. In 1919, she moved to Santa Barbara with her husband, and for the next half-century not only traveled extensively in pursuit of her beloved antiques, but also became deeply-involved with community philanthropy especially those activities “which gave promise of enriching the life,

exciting the mind”. This vision gave purpose to her collection which is evident in the dolls and toys presented in the “Forever Young” catalog. Also highlighted in the “Forever Young” catalog is an extraordinary doll by Albert Marque, from his series of 100 art dolls first presented at the gallery of Margaine-Lacroix in Paris in 1914/15. This example, acquired directly from the original gallery exhibition by its original owner, was later presented to her son and daughter-in-law who then founded the Museum of Old Dolls and Toys in Winter Haven, Florida, where this doll stood center-stage for decades. When the Museum closed its doors 31 years ago, in 1984, the doll was acquired by its present owner in whose home it has resided since. This Marque doll, red-letter marked number 7 in the series, is wearing its outstanding original costume from the Ballets Russes series created for the original Paris exhibition and is in impeccable condition. The auction also includes exceptional French bébés and poupées, most in original costumes, and highlighted by a stunning

She Built Her Collection with Dolls When Theriault’s brought its first doll auction to Los Angeles in 1980, Susan Whittaker of Beverly Hills was sitting front and center in the audience, and when dolls designated as “Gold Horse” came to the podium, she was front and center in the bidding. Yes, she built her collection around the authority of the Gold Horse designation. Because Theriault’s knew that bidding on a doll is scary. So 45 years ago they introduced a program in which the value of rare dolls would be assured to the winning bidder.

So 45 years ago Theriault’s introduced a program in which the value of rare dolls would be assured to the winning bidder.

Theriault’s classic “Gold Horse” tag appears on the wrist of every doll designated with the guarantee.

This program, unique in the auction industry and unique in the doll world, guarantees the hammer price of any doll that carries the award. So collectors, such as Susan Whittaker, could bid and buy with confidence. Still other collectors see the program as a great way to evolve their existing collection, trading in one or two Gold Horse dolls they already own toward the purchase of another Gold Horse doll they now wish to bid and buy. We invite you to contact Theriault’s for full details about the program, and look inside the front pages of every auction catalog to see which dolls bear the honorary designation for that auction.

“The Carabet Collection” The Sunday Auction of Antique Japanese Dolls

All collectors know this to be the truth: when it comes to collecting, one thing leads to another. You collect antique models of ships, and your mind wonders where those ships traveled - possibly the Far East. So you begin to collect Far East art and antiques. Then you narrow in on Japanese art and antiques. And then you focus on antique Japanese dolls. So it goes. So it went with Norman Carabet of California, whose fascination with these rare and wonderful objects not only led him to their collecting, but also to travel to Japan where he met many early collectors from whom he directly acquired some of his choice pieces. It is his complete collection - a one-person collection - acquired over several decades that is offered in “The Carabet Collection”. Make no mistake about these ningyōs (that’s the Japanese word for dolls) they

are old - some of the dolls in The Carabet Collection date back to the late 1700s. And while they may seem exotic to many collectors, in so many ways their 19th century history mirrors the French and German dolls with which Western collectors are more familiar. As French doll production was centered in Paris, Japanese doll production was centered in Kyoto. As French dolls were prized for luxury detail of costume and accessory, so, too, were Japanese dolls, with special note of the elegant and fashionable lady dolls and their attendants. In both cultures, the dollmakers explored techniques of body articulation and form, striving for realism. French dolls and Japanese dolls, alike, celebrated famed performers and heroes, and created the image of those in doll form. And although it is true that Japanese dolls have a more functional purpose of display rather than play, it is also true that the tender feelings held toward the dolls has been a constant in both cultures. The ningyĹ?s in The Carabet Collection range from the delightful playful gosho to the elegant ladies of the court, from portraits of historical heroes to dolls personifying centuries-old legends.

The tradition of preserving memorabilia of Shirley Temple's life and career had begun with her mother, Gertrude Temple, who had carefully cherished objects from the child star's decade of work in the 1930s. As the 1940s ensued, the task fell into the hands of Shirley Temple herself, and the torch was carried admirably. The objects presented in these commemorative book have been cherished and carefully saved by Shirley and her family for three-quarters of a century ... until today.

Introducing Florence & George In the early 1980s, Florence and George Theriault opened a small mail-order company, Dollmasters as a companion to their renowned auction house, Theriault’s of Annapolis, Maryland. From its beginning the firm specialized in memorabilia from vintage childhoods, designed for the adult collector. Now that it is time for a change, we couldn’t pick a better name than “Florence & George." Whatever the name, though, you’ll find we have what you are looking for, because we don’t just remember childhood, we revere it.

L ov e , Shi r le y T e m p le : Movie C ost u me s, Doll s , a n d C hi ldho od Me morabil ia f rom H e r P e r s ona l A rchive s More than 500 objects from the private childhood collection of the beloved star are photographed and described in this 250-page book. Until this time, the objects have been in the possession of Shirley Temple Black and her family. Included are nearly 100 film costumes, 100s of dolls, toys and playthings shown in her films or gifted to her by celebrities, and other fine ephemera including her gas-powered miniature car used to drive around the Fox Studios, personal letters, and so much more. 10" x 10".
