The cloth dolls of the Art Deco period were flashy, expensive mirrors of the society which created them. Made in a period of affluence when art and quality were important, the 1920s dolls reflected a dashing and disturbing world. The economic crash changed people's lives and their dolls; the 1930s dolls became less extravagant. A wealth of information on companies such as Lenci, Norah Wellings and Chad Valley is included along with the dolls' 1990 values.
