“This year, we even had to refuse exhibitors. By dint of hard work and persuasion, we are starting to have a small reputation in the world of dolls.”

A show to bring collectors together
About two hundred people are expected at the show this Sunday, December 5. “Despite the health restrictions, we hope that people are there.”
“For us it’s so important to bring collectors together, physically”, adds the repairer. “Even if I am ultra-connected, nothing beats meeting in person”. Especially for this kind of object, which can cost between 1 and 100,000 euros, depending on the professional. “These are objects that are worth a certain price. The dolls lose their value if there is a single crack, which you might not see if the show was held by videoconference. ”
This show is an opportunity for collectors to come together around their passion. But also for “the curious, who, with Chartres in dolls, could fall back into childhood.”
“Dolls are still a dream!”
Vanessa Brunel (Organizer of the show)
