Baby doll. Armand Marseille AM 341/6K. Germany. Circa 1924.Size 4 baby doll, with bisque head without an opening, sleep eyes, and open mouth. Period cotton clothing with lace edging, bonnet and underwear. With marks on the nape of the neck. Height: 55 cm.Armand Marseille’s dolls are from Thuringia, Germany, and were made from 1885 until around 1950. The founder, of the same name, arrived in Germany from Russia in the mid-19th century and quickly acquired the toy factory from Mathias Lambert in Sonneberg. In 1885 he expanded by acquiring the Liebermann & Wegescher porcelain factory in Koppelsdorf. The company later merged with another manufacturer of porcelain dolls, Ernst Heubach, in 1919, to form the United Porcelain Factory of Koppelsdorf. However, the two companies separated in 1932 and both continued operating alone for several decades more. Although much of their production took place during the late 19th century, the great majority of Armand Marseille dolls which we find on the antiques market were made between 1900 and 1930. It is very rare to find Armand Marseille dolls which are unmarked and one should be very skeptical of these dolls. Almost all his dolls were duly marked, but it is possible that some of the marks could have been rubbed off or are difficult to see. Practically all of the marks were engraved or printed, normally by hand, and they usually include the model or mould number and / or the size. Sometimes the mark of the manufacturer who made the attached body is also included.

JAUME SANS (Sitges, Barcelona, 1914-1987)."Untitled".Mixed media on paper.Signed in the lower left corner.Size: 18 x 12 cm; 31 x 25 cm (frame).Jaume Sans spent most of his childhood in Cuba. Years later, already in Barcelona, he came into contact with the magazine L Amic de les Arts, one of the periodicals that contributed to revolutionising the artistic panorama of the 1920s, published in Sitges between 1926 and 1929. Artists such as Salvador Dalí, the critic Sebastià Gasch and the writers J.V. Foix and Lluís Montanyá were grouped around the magazine. During the first decades of the 20th century, avant-garde centres in Spain were almost non-existent, with the rare exception of Barcelona. The city was a centre for artists exiled from the First World War and its tradition of innovation allowed for the appearance of more daring exhibition programmes. Exhibitions such as that of the Galeries Dalmau in 1912, which was the second Cubist art exhibition held outside Paris, or the Universal Exhibition of 1929, which included Mies van der Rohe's revolutionary German pavilion, placed the city on the European art map. During 1932 and 1933 Jaume Sans attended the School of Arts and Crafts, in the face of his family's opposition, where he met Ángel Ferrant, who was to have a profound influence on his work. Sans was a member of Amics de l'Art Nou (ADLAN), a group of artists who promoted the dissemination of new arts and organised exhibitions such as Alexander Calder's Circus in Miniature and Joan Miró's Objects. In 1935 he showed his sculptural work together with Ramon Marinel-lo and Eudald Serra at the Tres Esculptors exhibition organised by ADLAN at the Galeries d'Art Catalònia in Barcelona. This surrealist-style exhibition was a key event in the evolution of contemporary Catalan sculpture.
