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, Dollmasters

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.

Florence & George is delighted to introduce a family of fanciful miniature mice, handcrafted in the USA by the Petersen family since 1972. Annette Petersen crafted her first little mouse nearly four decades ago, and today is joined in the wee

mouse world by Annette, Willy and Donna, the next generation of Petersens. They describe their creative process this way. "We make the mold, cast it, and a little mouse begins to emerge. Meticulous hand-painting and an enormous amount of patience and time brings each sculpture to life". All of the Wee Forest Folks are hand-crafted entirely in the small town of Carlisle in eastern Massachusetts.

| GREEN & ORANGE BIRD WITH FEATHER ON BLOCKA vivid and chirpy little song bird prepares for a one-bird block party in

this simple, but elegant, wooden bird sculpture. 6”. GH-510.

$225.

Though the phrase "Steampunk" first originated in the 1980s, the roots of the genre were first established in the time period it emulates, the 1890s, with the works of early science fiction giants like H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, and Mary Shelley. Today the genre and its precepts can be found in every layer of entertainment and now, thanks to Pennsylvanian artists Jim and Tori Mullan, the genre has infiltrated classic American art pieces.

Jim and Tori's parallel love of antique watches and vintage toys drew them together over two decades ago, but their artistic endeavors bonded them for life. Artistic endeavors which include the adorning of antique metal pieces to wooden animal sculptures forming a striking juxtaposition. Each piece is as unique in its creation as it is in its originality, a surefire centerpiece for your home.

Because each wooden piece is adorned using unique antique pieces (such as binoculars and croquet balls), no two pieces are exactly alike. Each is signed and dated by the artist.

Mullanium Art

MANGROVE WARBLER ON WHEELS } A lively warbler is the focus of the Mullanium piece. Metal adornments include pieces from vintage watches, clocks, rulers, and other measuring devices. 5”. GH-509. $220.

GOLDEN BIRD ON WHEELS }A simple and classically designed wooden bird contrasts with the intricate and elegant antique metal pieces which adorn the Golden Bird to form a classic toy. 5". GH-325. $225.

While Shirley Temple, the famously dimpled child star danced, sang and

smiled her way into hearts throughout the Great Depression years of the 1930s, her mother, Gertrude Temple, was busy preserving the memorabilia that attended her daughter's more than 40 films of the decade. Film costumes, props, celebrity gifts, dolls, toys, playthings, all were cherished and carefully saved by Shirley and her family for some 80 years...until today.

Now, several hundred of the memorabilia from the private family archives will be traveling to museums around the United States through the months of May, June and July 2015, under the sponsorship of Theriault’s. You are invited to attend.

More dates and locations of the Love, Shirley Temple exhibition to be announced soon. Visit www.theriaults.com for up-to-the-minute details.

Shirley Temple’s costume from “Curly Top,” along with her matching doll. Both are displayed in the “Love, Shirley

Temple” exhibition.

| ANTIQUE WEDDING GLOBE, ONE-OF-A-KINDSFrom a privately owned French wedding museum come antique 19th century French wedding globes known as "globes de mariee". Each young bride and groom chose the objects to place inside a globe that would symbolize their union and their dreams, including mirrors, birds, ivy leaves, and flowers, and so important was the tradition that the globe de mariee ("the bride's wedding globe") lived in a place of honor in the home throughout

the marriage. Each of our wedding globes, which make elegant and completely novel gifts for wedding or anniversaries, comes with its own antique base and globe and certificate of authenticity. Each is different, but you can expect to receive one similar to those shown. We will include a complimentary copy of Florence Theriault's book "Memories of a Marriage" recounting the legend of the globes.

aspiring artists

require models to study. If that young

artist happens to live in a city, he might have a hard time finding a real horse to pose, which is the exact reason that for centuries models this detailed have been produced.

It also makes an elegant display piece on its own just as the original models have done since the 1800s. 10". GH-353. $125.
