Vintage Dianne Dengel American Artist Cloth Doll OOAK Boy & His Spoon 1985 32. Unveiling a Legacy: The Lorraine Doll Collection. Over the next three days, Monday, April 22nd through Wednesday, April 24th, we are honored to present the cherished large-scale collection of Lorraine Roffman, a passionate New Jersey-based art doll enthusiast.

Over the course of four decades, Lorraine meticulously built a museum-quality doll gallery in her home, filled with one-of-a-kind, hand-sculpted art dolls. A dedicated collector, Lorraine attended doll shows around the country. She was drawn to expressive dolls that seemed to hold unique stories within their gaze. Each doll was carefully chosen, a testament to her discerning eye and love for the artistry. With the help of an in-home caretaker, Lorraine meticulously cared for her collection, ensuring their perfect preservation.

Fulfilling Lorraine's final wish, this collection is now offered to new collectors who share her appreciation for the art and wonder of these exceptional dolls. Ranging in size from 6" to 36" masterpieces, these works of art are crafted from hand-sculpted clay, porcelain or fabric.

Each piece represents a chance to own a unique treasure, imbued with Lorraine's passion and ready to find a new place of love and appreciation. This is an ASTOUNDINGLY DETAILED, vintage, one-of-a-kind artist character doll portraying a darling little boy with his napkin tucked in and a spoon in his hand. He is ready for SUPPER TIME!

He is a wonderful masterpiece that was created by American cloth doll artist, Dianne Dengel. Dengel is also well recognized as an oil paint artist. Dianne Dengel formed her exquisite dolls with soft cloth stockinette, then hand painted each one with oil paints so that the fabric stiffened in the process, thus creating a true piece of art. This doll is sitting, but he is 32 tall. He was made in 1985.

We are sharing Lorraine's video and story on our Magpie Miniatures Facebook page if you'd like to learn more, and hear Lorraine speak about her collection, in her own words. We have hundreds of dolls to share with you, each of them need a new home and each has Lorraine's blessing to continue bringing joy to whoever owns them.
