"Toys from Here and Elsewhere" Room

Toys made in France, Germany, The United States, etc…

Teddy bears, collector cars and vehicles, rare dolls, silkscreen painted toys, mechanical toys - some by the German brand SCHÜCO and a wealth of other treasures such as a massive dollhouse from 1913 furnished and animated by porcelain dolls, an unusual piggy bank, wooden toys from the Jura, musical toys, a steam machine from 1920 complete with its fair share of accessories (mill, wheel, pump, porcelain head). Beautiful collector dolls, including a BELTON (France, 1850), a little boy ARMAND from MARSEILLE, wax dolls, a MECCANO wind turbine (1901), “Turtle” dolls (+/- 1930) bring us more information on the evolution of washing machines, a surprising three-faced baby (USA, 1940) which allowed its owners to live different moments in the day of a new-born.
