World Record Antique Doll In January of 2018, Theriault's Auction House broke a world record, selling a notable French doll. The record-setting antique doll was created by Antoine Edmund Rochard. It sold for $333,500, and will reside in the Barry Art Museum of Norfolk, Virginia. According to Theriault's, a leader in doll auction sales, this Rochard example "symbolizes the golden age of French dolls." It also appeals to scholars of photography and French culture and history since the breastplate of the doll was decorated with an elaborately painted necklace. Hidden inside 24 of the tiny jewels are micro-photographs depicting historic scenes in France, such as Fontainebleau, the Louvre, and the Hotel de Ville of Paris, among others. When held closely to the eye, each image is magnified 160 times. #info #EverythingsInfo
