Cathay Collection Porcelain Doll

The Handbook of Doll Repair and Restoration was a first when it was published in 1979. It is still a first--in its completeness and detail. This is a responsible book, subscribing to the view of true doll collectors: Do nothing to an antique doll that will compromise the authenticity and reduce its value. Whether a doll is a museum rarity, one of many common antique dolls, or a collectible, Marty Westfall's book will lead you through procedures to restore it. The exquisitely detailed step-by-step directions make it possible for collectors, dealers, even those who own just one or two treasured dolls, to make necessary repairs without reducing value. The techniques that author Marty Westfall used from 1973 to 1979 and set down in this book are just as practical today. Her aim was to help the beginning restoration artist, and the information is just as valuable to even the most sophisticated collector. In easy-to-follow directions The Handbook describes how to set stationary and sleep eyes, restring compo bodies, refurbish old wigs and make new ones, repair ball-jointed bodies, clean and repair kid bodies, make cloth bodies, mend chips and cracks, replace missing fingers and toes, and cope with other damages. The Handbook encourages those who wish to learn the art by taking them by the hand and showing them how to get started. At the back of the book is an updated list of suppliers for those who lack ready access to sources of repair materials. Other helpful information includes a chapter on how to distinguish between a legitimate replica doll and a fake made with the intention to deceive and another on how to determine whether a doll has been mended, even if the repair is soskillfully done that it is not readily apparent. Thousands who began using this book as a guide have gone on to develop profitable careers in the restoration field. The same procedures to restore dolls work in restoring other porcelain objet d'arts, such as figurines.

Raymond Peynet, the French artist and designer, was born in 1908. On leaving the Ecole des Arts Appliques in Paris, he entered the advertising world and soon started his own agency. In 1942 he introduced The Lovers. Instantly recognizable, they captivated the world with their charm and wit. From the end of the 1940s, much of Peynet's work revolved around the Poet and his Lady. He drew them into numerous disciplines - jewelry, textiles, postcards, dolls, books, prints and ceramics. His collaboration with Rosenthal, the German porcelain manufacturer, was extensive, the later series of lithographs was highly successful and, when Queen Elizabeth visited Paris in 1957, she was presented with the celebrated Peynet dolls. Today, there is a real revival of interest in his art - and Peynet museums in both France and Japan. This book records, as much as possible, his formidable output with detailed information for the enthusiast and collector.
