Over the next three days, Monday, April 22nd through Wednesday, April 24th, we are honored to present the cherished large-scale collection of Lorraine Roffman, a passionate New Jersey-based art doll enthusiast. Over the course of four decades, Lorraine meticulously built a museum-quality doll gallery in her home, filled with one-of-a-kind, hand-sculpted art dolls. A dedicated collector, Lorraine attended doll shows around the country. She was drawn to expressive dolls that seemed to hold unique stories within their gaze. Each doll was carefully chosen, a testament to her discerning eye and love for the artistry. With the help of an in-home caretaker, Lorraine meticulously cared for her collection, ensuring their perfect preservation. Fulfilling Lorraine's final wish, this collection is now offered to new collectors who share her appreciation for the art and wonder of these exceptional dolls. Ranging in size from 6" to 36" masterpieces, these works of art are crafted from hand-sculpted clay, porcelain or fabric. Each piece represents a chance to own a unique treasure, imbued with Lorraine's passion and ready to find a new place of love and appreciation.
