Testimonials from Theriault's Customers

“In June, 1980 I bought the cover doll, S&H K*R 117 (Mein Liebling). I have been buying from them ever since. Thank you to Florence, for sharing her vast knowledge through her catalogs and to Stuart, for finding the rare and beautiful dolls. They have helped me in my quest to develop my collection. I’m extremely grateful.”
Gail Cook
"Dolls, dolls, dolls: If you are a seller, your objectives become Theriault’s objectives; if you are a buyer you will not find a better place to be than at a Theriault auction. In our 45 years of worldwide experience with auction companies never have we found a more reliable and personalized house than Theriault’s with Florence and Stuart at the helm. For sellers Theriault’s puts at your disposal top marketing and sales strategy, world class cataloging and reliable fulfillment of objectives.
For buyers Theriault’s offers you the widest possible range of dolls and doll related articles in all price categories and encompassing four centuries. My wife and I have both dealt with Theriault’s for 15 years and have had much success. The key is our great personal respect and trust vis à vis Florence and Stuart. Sell or buy, there are no better and more reliable. Very successful business in an atmosphere of true friendship. Nowhere else than at Theriault’s can you find that in a dolls’ world.
Hanne and Umur Büktas
“Wow! I just received your check and I’m flabbergasted! While this process may have taken longer than expected, this was much, much more than I ever imagined. Words fail me, so I’m just going to say thank you to you and your team for making sure that Aunt Margaret’s treasures went to good homes. It really means a lot to all of us.”
Tim Jacks, The Margaret George Collection
“When it comes to fine dolls, Theriault’s is who you want to do business with. They are the elite among antique doll auctioneers. Their knowledge of the doll market, and their reach to it, is unequaled. They tell you what to expect, and then deliver- it was a great experience.”
Skip Welker for The Billie and Paige Welker Collection
The selling experience was very, very good. I was amazed with the packing job that was done by their representatives. It was an intense, but very good experience. The artistic creation of the displays and catalogs adds very much to the enjoyment and visual appreciation. I started going to Theriault’s auctions in the early 80’s or before so it’s been at least 35 years.
Estelle Johnston
“These days, I feel trust is the most important factor in any business dealing and I have complete faith in Theriault’s.”
Elaine Romberg
“I have sold dolls through Theriault’s for over 25 years. I have found them to be very fair and accurate in their descriptions. They pay promptly and honestly. I highly recommend this company and their owners. Florence and Stuart are the best!”
Linda Johnston
“Our inquiries were addressed with exceptional elements of meaningful customer service, including very professional, timely and to-the-point answers. We sincerely appreciate and thank Theriault’s for all their work on our behalf. It was a good experience, and we recommend them without reservation.”
John and Anne Smith, Scottsdale, AZ
“In our opinion, Theriault’s is unbeatable in the doll, toy and automata auction arena.”
Susan and Louis Nunez
“I want to thank you for all your hard work and diligence regarding the sale of the Jumeau. As you know I had some reservations at the outset as the world of doll auctions was completely new to me but I am very pleased that I chose to put the sale of the doll in you and your company’s very capable hands. Whilst I felt mixed emotions of sorrow and excitement watching the auction online I still believe it was the right decision to sell and I'm sure he has ended up with a very worthy and appreciative new owner.”
Katherine Dawe-Lane, United Kingdom
“The service and the manner of Theriault’s when buying and selling dolls has been a rewarding, happy experience for Chuck and for me.”
Fran and Chuck Ciraolo
“I would say the entire process of selling my collection was seamless in every way. As well, Stuart made me feel very comfortable with his kindness and compassion. I would highly recommend Theriault’s to my collector friends.”
Helen Welsh Gastaldo, Lancaster, PA
“Our relationship with Theriault’s over many years has been excellent. They have always delivered as promised. They managed our recent auction professionally, courteously and successfully.”
Jerry Ackerman, Los Angeles (The Evelyn Ackerman Collection)
“I wanted to take the opportunity to convey our thanks to you and your staff for all your efforts on our behalf in the handling of my mother's beloved doll collection. It was a relief for us to be able to have the knowledge that your firm was handling the auction and all of the associated details during a time when we were sometimes overwhelmed with all that is associated with handling a loved one's affairs.
She thoroughly enjoyed her years collecting dolls and you and Theriault's played a significant role in that pursuit, so it was only fitting that you played a complimentary role when the time came to continue her doll legacy with future collectors.”
Brett Hoffman, The Kate Hoffman Collection
“I have been a customer of Theriault’s for over thirty years, both as a buyer and a seller. There is no auction company that can match their service.”
