Richard Wright (1946-2009)
A charismatic personality blessed with a knowledge of
antiques that was far beyond his years, William Richard
Wright, Jr. was a full-time antiques dealer by the time he was
11 or 12. Those who knew him from childhood say that even
then he showed both an uncanny aptitude for the business of
antiques and a burning desire to experience a life of
adventure. Throughout his life, those qualities remained with
him and became inextricably intertwined.
Buoyed by the patriotic, entrepreneurial spirit of a nation
emerging victoriously from war, Richard’s parents opened a
retail furniture store in the 1950s to grab their share of the
American dream. But Richard was not a typical product of the
mid century. As would be the case throughout his life, Richard
embraced counterculture and was drawn toward liberal
thinkers and the avant-garde. Always imaginative, always
ahead of his peers, Richard would become a trailblazer within
the newly developing fraternity of collecting and the business
that created collections.
Attending rural auctions in the greater Philadelphia area
taught young Richard about local history, but his more global
education can be traced to the influence of Robert and Mary
Merritt. Perusing and purchasing on a weekly basis the
treasures the Merritts brought back to their Douglassville
warehouses from Europe, the now-teenage Richard viewed
Merritt’s Antiques as a beacon lighting the pathway to his
future in the antiques business.
Richard opened his first shop in 1960, at the age of 14. His
father, William R. Wright, Sr., took notice of his son’s business
acumen and the rapidly rising profile he was gaining within the
antiques trade. The senior Wright embraced his young son’s
hobby and, after Richard’s high school graduation, refitted the
furniture store to become Richard Wright Antiques. His
mother, Beatrice, may have been the genesis of the
business’s doll specialty, but Richard Jr. was a quick study
and had become amazingly decisive about all aspects of this
family business.
It is a well-known fact that Wright Sr. and Jr. often had a
different vision about life and business. This had led to a
disagreement on a buying trip in England in the mid 1960s
that ended with Richard staying on in London and his parents
returning to Pennsylvania. It would prove to be a pivotal
moment in Richard’s life.
Richard rented a flat and soon was embracing London and
everything it had to offer—rock & roll, fashion, the world’s
leading social scene, and most importantly to him, dolls and
antiques. The true collector in Richard was “born” in England.
It was there that he discovered the Aesthetic Movement of
the late-19th and early 20th centuries. He would go on to
collect antiques from this period for the rest of his life.
 359
Richard became a regular on the London doll scene.
Haunting Portobello Road and Kensington Court, Richard
filled transatlantic shipping containers with antiques and dolls
bound for the family business back in Spring City. The rift
between father and son had been patched up quickly, and
now his parents had eager collectors waiting in line to buy
Richard’s latest finds from across The Pond.
Returning to America in the 1970s, Richard began his 20-year
partnership with Richard Saxman. Together, they went on
buying trips around Europe, as well as in Mexico, South
America and all over the United States.
After the passing of both his parents, Richard entered a new
era of his life in 1982 by moving his shop to Birchrunville,
Pennsylvania. His team of faithful employees—Meriel Marlar,
Gemma Leigh, Sandi Morris, and Beth Ditullio—had to jump
into the fast lane to keep up with the high-speed pace of
Richard’s buying and selling.
By the 1980s, collecting had moved into the mainstream of
America, and Richard became a leader in selling all levels of
dolls. He encouraged the success of others and supported
the creation of a code of ethics in the doll world by becoming
the first president of the National Antique Doll Dealers
Association. He became a headline-maker internationally from
his high-end purchases. His bearded face was plastered on
the cover of countless national newspapers, under the words
“World record price paid for teddy bear.”
Many people who did not know him personally still felt as
though they did, from his countless appearances on the PBS
television show Antiques Roadshow. But the most significant
benefit of the show was meeting his life partner Glenn
Stevens at his very first taping.
All along his career’s magical trail, which Richard would have
likened to the Yellow Brick Road, he embraced everything
and everyone he met. When Richard walked into a room of
fellow doll collectors, the atmosphere changed. It became
electric. It became fun.
More than 50 years of doll collecting is represented in this
catalog. By studying this collection it is very easy to see
Richard’s many facets. He was not a doll snob, he loved the
common, the unusual, the rare, and the original. In his
collection, you can see both his sense of humor and his
preference for things that were “genuine.”
I asked myself, what would Richard say of the sale of his
collection? And in my head, I heard his voice saying what I
had heard him tell so many customers—“That’s a cool doll,
you should buy that.”

Impressive Georgian Painted Wood Three-Story Baby House, England, late 18th century, probably built by an estate carpenter, the
façade accented with hand-carved dimensional quioning, and with small arched recesses and vertical beading to cornice, divided into
three distinct sections with hinged locking doors, the center section recessed and centered by entry staircase; the hipped roof with three
chimneys evenly spaced across the top; the exterior painted a soft fawn color with thin lines of white paint to simulate ashlar stonework,
with the blind four-paned windows outlined in brown, and accented with white painted interior window shades set at varying heights; the
arched front windows recessed into the walls with attached carved sills, with the rectangular side windows without recessing or sills; the
interior featuring nine rooms, some with vintage wallpapers or painted-over papers indicating periodic redecorating, as well as some
pictures or wall hangings on the walls; some floors unfinished, others with wallpaper or old carpet scraps; one room with original
recessed fireplace with a grate, and a freestanding kitchen fireplace with tin insert is included with the house, (areas of exterior trim

apparently added several items of more recent vintage. The trio of faux front doors, somewhat disproportionately small relative to the
large windows, is a common feature of English dollhouses of this vintage.

 Skinner, Inc. - Conditions of Sale
1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and
Skinner, Inc. below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed
the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a
lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.

2. All property is sold “as is,” and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with
respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of
description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made
at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.

3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed
bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot
for sale.

4. All merchandise purchased must be paid for and removed from the premises the day of the auction. Skinner, Inc. may impose, and the
