We now have over a thousand dolls, ranging in date from the late eighteenth century to the 1980s. Some of them are very unusual, like the Westwood 'fertility doll' which is credited with helping Eliza Westwood to have thirteen children in the mid-nineteenth century, or the peddler doll whose head is made of a dried apple which was pickled in vinegar. We also have fine examples by many of the major makers from Jumeau to Meech and Bru to Pierotti. The dolls range in size from a few millimetres to over a metre. To accompany the dolls we have a wide range of dolls' clothes and accessories. We also have several fine dolls' houses including one which was made in Sussex in the 1840s.
