Dolls by Pauline: Pauline Bjonness-Jacobsen

"Pauline Bjonness-Jacobsen was the inspiration behind some of the most beautiful dolls available today. As a child, Pauline gave her much-loved Emma doll to her long lost little sister, Trudy, and experienced the joy that comes from sharing love.

Pauline Bjonness-Jacobsen passed away in 2006 after a long struggle with cancer. Her timeless elegance, warmth, and true love for mankind will be remembered for generations to come.

Her children are continuing with Pauline's legacy, and continue on with this much loved family business. Her son, Mikkel, will continue sculpting beautiful faces; her daughter, Liesbet, will continue to design the elegant clothing; and her son, Ernst, will continue to oversee the daily operations of the business.

The fundamentals have never changed and there is something of Pauline's family heritage in each and every doll. Cultural influences can easily be seen in the family's work, reflecting the many places throughout the world where they have lived, studied and traveled. Designers at heart, they possess tremendous talent and expertise in illustration, painting, sculpting, and fashion design.

Over the years, Pauline Collectibles has been formally recognized for design excellence and has been nominated thirty-one times for prestigious awards from Dolls magazine and Doll Reader magazine."
