From Canford & Co Frames Ltd
A rare Grecon miniature dancing doll on a black painted wooden base made in Germany in the 1920s. It is made from wool-bound wire, a cotton face with embroidered features and a woollen wig. It is stamped D.R.G.M. and hand numbered '1215' on the base.
Grecon was the trade-mark name used for the production of miniature dolls and doll's house dolls and was registered initially by Grete Cohn (1894-1991) in Berlin in 1920.
Many of the early dolls were stamped to their wooden bases with D.R.G.M. Grecon. In May 1936, aged 41, Miss Cohn fled Nazi Germany to England and initially settled in Streatham High Road, London, resuming production of her dolls. The trademark was registered in England in 1940. She moved to Brighton & Hove in the early 1960s.
