Among the lots at the sale drawing strong interest was a Bru Bébé Jne Bisque headed doll. A late 19th century example by the sought-after French maker, it was a well preserved piece with the doll wearing a silk kimono and a blue-black wig.
Estimated at £800-1200, it sold at £12,000.
Also bringing demand was a naval ship's cabin bed that sold for a double-estimate £1700.
An unusual piece of mahogany and teak ‘campaign’ furniture, it was labelled for John Baker & Co of Kensington.
It was consigned for sale at Halls of Shrewsbury on December 11 by a direct descendant of Edward Beck (1803-61). A watch-keeper officer from a prominent Quaker family in Dover, he worked on merchant sailing ships in the second quarter of the 19th century.
