Scenes From The Court

July 9, 2006 in Dallas, TX

Scenes from the Court teasingly word-plays on the court theme, while offering a plentitude of dolls that are fit for a princess. There are the exceptionally rare pair of dolls actually from the 18th century French court whose purpose was not child's play, but a manner for aristocrats to theatrically spread the latest gossip without naming names, from the private collection of the late Parisian antiquarian Claude Detave. There are wooden dolls of the English court, and even an extensive trousseaux. 8.5" x 11". Softbound. 136 full-color pages. $49.00
