Click here to learn more about this Artist!

Maintenance Program for R John Wright dolls! Since 1983 all of the felt used in their dolls has been custom made in Europe (first in England and currently in Germany). The colors are custom dyed to their specifications and they specially request that the felt be treated to be both mothproofed and colorfast. This is an expensive process but RJW understands that collectors don't want to have to worry about these things which have wreaked havoc on so many wonderful antique felt dolls.

Moths and fading are not a problem, but because the dolls are made of fabric it is best to display them behind glass in a display cabinet or under a glass dome. If surface dust should occur, you can carefully blow them off with a blow dryer set on cool temperature and low setting. For smudges, careful use of an art gum eraser can eliminate unwanted spots.

Felt dolls have a wonderful warmth and an unusual quality not found with other mediums. There are absolutely no synthetics used in the production of our dolls. Even the stuffing is 100% cotton. There are many new materials out there that have not proven themselves to last the test of time. If cared for properly, our dolls can remain pristine indefinitely. We hope you will consider adding them to your collection!

2010 Fairies - Just in the new "Pine Tree fairy" shipping Feb. just posted. Also, adorable.... "Peter Cottontail" - don't miss him! Wow, the four new fairies are awesome! We especially love Zinnia and Lavender. We are taking orders for these now along with the Poplar and Dogwood fairies (estimated shipping for 2010). Wright is currently working on producing the Hazelnut fairy for Jan/Feb delivery. They will also be working on "Heather" and the "Pine Tree" fairy this year. We are still taking MATCHED NUMBER full set orders on these fairies but they will soon run out. The only fairy that will not neccesarily be able to be matched soon will be the "Sweet Pea" fairy as that was originally exclusive thru Wright but has now opened up for dealer sale. Last year's fairies are available in very limited numbers so if you are interested order soon.

Remember - SAVE 10% OFF on all orders of three or more fairies by Wright. We offer extended year layaway with monthly payments that fit your budget needs - email kmalone@dollery.com to see how we can make a custom payment plan that works for you.

Do not miss these.........they are amazing. Note - prices did increase this year and they are noted below. Wright does increase prices periodically once the dolls go into production. Any price increases will be reflected this year to customers (sorry) but we did absorb the majority on sets in 2009.

The Palmer Cox Collection (below)

Shown below are the "Chinaman Brownie" and the "Indian Brownie." Produced in very small editions of just 250 pieces, each is highly detailed and made entirely of all-wool felt. We want to make you aware of this exciting new series. Both are currently available for immediate shipment while supplies last! The suggested retail is $485. Matched numbers are offered for collectors interested in acquiring matching pieces in the collection.

PALMER COX is famous the world over for his delightful children's books on the fictional creatures known as the "Brownies." His inspiration for the Brownies came from the Scottish folktales he learned from his mother which featured the Brownies, or little members of the faerie or goblin world. He described them this way: "imaginary sprites who delight in harmless pranks and helpful deeds. They work and sport while weary households sleep, and never allow themselves to be seen by mortal eyes."

Considered a pioneering artist of the Platinum Age of Comic Art, Palmer Cox brought the Brownies of childhood myth to life with his detailed illustrations and classic verse/story-poems. The first collection of Brownie stories was published in 1887 and sold over a million copies - an unheard of number for that time. Cox would go on to publish 15 more Brownie books - leaving behind a legacy of delight for children and the young-at-heart. It gives us great pleasure to introduce his beloved Brownies for the very first time in the medium of molded felt. Let me know if you need any further information.

Approx. 17" Tall - Est: Delivery 2006

Limited Edition of 250 - $1,875.00 SOLD OUT

R. John Wright presents Marcella and Raggedy Ann. The character of Marcella was modeled after illustrator Johnny Gruelle's real life daughter, Marcella. Marcella was the creative muse for Gruelle's original Raggedy Ann stories. When she was twelve, Marcella became extremely ill and became bedridden. Her father found an old rag doll in the attic and used the doll to create fantastic stories for his daughter to entertain her throughout her illness. Following her death, Gruelle published the stories to share with other children. The stories became the adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy.
In this very special edition, Marcella will be modeled after Gruelle's original artwork. She will stand approximately 17" tall and will be made of fine all wool felt with a hand knotted mohair wig. Her body will be fully jointed and her portrait sculpted face will be hand painted. She will come dressed in her yellow cotton dress. Her bonnet will be trimmed with felt fruit and flowers. In her arms she will hold a floppy version of Raggedy Ann. This set will come in a deluxe presentation box complete with ownership forms and a reproduction of the original artwork.
