Theriault's Auction House Establishes New Auction Record for an Antique Doll

Two previous world auction doll records were achieved in 2014 when Theriault's and then a London based firm respectively achieved records of $300,000 and 242,500 pounds, both records for dolls created in the early 20th century. The present Rochard record price is not only a new world record for any doll sold at auction, based on current conversion, it is also the first time that a 19th century doll has achieved that honor.
