Aunt Ena’s Handmade dolls find a new home at Stockyard North.
Written by Kate White.
We often get enquiries from people asking if we would purchase or accept donations of everything from sofas to entire kitchens. As a result, we are able to provide a varied collection of furniture and props for hire.
Recently we were contacted by a member of the public asking if we could rehome his late Aunts handmade doll collection, and we couldn’t resist.
In the 1970s Miss Ena Lynn , from Shirley UK. made this collection of dolls by hand to entertain her friends children. The dolls are made in the likeness of famous figures throughout history and include Queen Elizabeth and William Shakespeare, as well as Marie Antoinette and Henry IIIV.
Miss Ena’s nephew became the beneficiary of this unique collection and rightfully deemed them too wonderful not to share. Therefore he contacted us to see if we could offer them a home—and in short, we happily obliged!
This collection is now be part of our prop hire department and above all, are destined to adorn some of the unique sets created by the wonderful Art Department here in Manchester.
We love to hear about curios a like these and encourage you to get in touch if you think there is something we just cant miss out on!
If you have any queries regarding this new collection give us a call on 0161 872 9206 .
Even better, come in for a peruse of our vast collection and a cup of tea.
