Aunt Janie's Doll Trunk

Aunt Janie's Doll Trunk Offering fine antique French and German bisque dolls, doll clothing and costumes, accessories, doll pates and bisque doll repair.

Antique French and German bisque dolls have been the focus of my work and have been my passion for over 35 years. As I offer treasures from my doll trunk on Ruby Lane, I hope you will enjoy taking a peek each week to see if you find a sweet treat to satisfy your craving. You may already be familiar with me having used the name "My Gramma's Doll Trunk selling on eBay for the past 14 years where I h

ave 100% positive feedback or as Janice Cuthbert when I was making replicas of rare antique dolls in the 1970's and 80's. When you encountered the lovely life sized Bru mannequin, "Lady Grace" in the 1990's under my business name, "Victoria Station 1880", she became the expression of everyone's interest in vintage fashions of the Victorian Era which dove tailed into my love for the toys of the same period. Having loved the trunks that have held these treasures, and knowing there's such a curiosity to discover what is within, I look forward to surprising you with select examples from Aunt Janie's Doll Trunk. Whether they be smaller all bisque dolls and mignonettes, stunning French Fashions, Jumeaus, Brus and F.G.s, or appealing ball jointed German character dolls by Kestner, Simon & Halbig or Kammer & Reinhardt, you may find just what you've been looking for to add to your collection. At times, as a Doll Doctor, I have been pleased to preserve some examples for future generations, bringing them from someone's rejected box under the bed, to their rightful place of honor as masterful art pieces of bygone days. I present the opportunity to have your dolls restored or costumed with tender loving care.

I have never had the privilege of owning both an XI and an X at the same time before. Take a look at this doll’s sister, the XI, in my trunk as well. Seldom found, is this early, circa 1880, little girl shown relaxing on a Sunday afternoon reading on the porch. She has kicked off her shoes, and…
