Richard Wright (1946-2009)

A charismatic personality blessed with a knowledge ofantiques that was far beyond his years, William RichardWright, Jr. was a full-time antiques dealer by the time he was11 or 12. Those who knew him from childhood say that eventhen he showed both an uncanny aptitude for the business ofantiques and a burning desire to experience a life ofadventure. Throughout his life, those qualities remained withhim and became inextricably intertwined.

Buoyed by the patriotic, entrepreneurial spirit of a nationemerging victoriously from war, Richard’s parents opened aretail furniture store in the 1950s to grab their share of theAmerican dream. But Richard was not a typical product of themid century. As would be the case throughout his life, Richardembraced counterculture and was drawn toward liberalthinkers and the avant-garde. Always imaginative, alwaysahead of his peers, Richard would become a trailblazer withinthe newly developing fraternity of collecting and the businessthat created collections.

Attending rural auctions in the greater Philadelphia areataught young Richard about local history, but his more globaleducation can be traced to the influence of Robert and MaryMerritt. Perusing and purchasing on a weekly basis thetreasures the Merritts brought back to their Douglassvillewarehouses from Europe, the now-teenage Richard viewedMerritt’s Antiques as a beacon lighting the pathway to hisfuture in the antiques business.

Richard opened his first shop in 1960, at the age of 14. Hisfather, William R. Wright, Sr., took notice of his son’s businessacumen and the rapidly rising profile he was gaining within theantiques trade. The senior Wright embraced his young son’shobby and, after Richard’s high school graduation, refitted thefurniture store to become Richard Wright Antiques. Hismother, Beatrice, may have been the genesis of thebusiness’s doll specialty, but Richard Jr. was a quick studyand had become amazingly decisive about all aspects of thisfamily business.

It is a well-known fact that Wright Sr. and Jr. often had adifferent vision about life and business. This had led to adisagreement on a buying trip in England in the mid 1960sthat ended with Richard staying on in London and his parentsreturning to Pennsylvania. It would prove to be a pivotalmoment in Richard’s life.

Richard rented a flat and soon was embracing London andeverything it had to offer—rock & roll, fashion, the world’sleading social scene, and most importantly to him, dolls andantiques. The true collector in Richard was “born” in England.It was there that he discovered the Aesthetic Movement ofthe late-19th and early 20th centuries. He would go on tocollect antiques from this period for the rest of his life.

Page 6: 2476 The Richard Wright Collection Session I: Rare & Important Dolls

Richard became a regular on the London doll scene.Haunting Portobello Road and Kensington Court, Richardfilled transatlantic shipping containers with antiques and dollsbound for the family business back in Spring City. The riftbetween father and son had been patched up quickly, andnow his parents had eager collectors waiting in line to buyRichard’s latest finds from across The Pond.

Returning to America in the 1970s, Richard began his 20-yearpartnership with Richard Saxman. Together, they went onbuying trips around Europe, as well as in Mexico, SouthAmerica and all over the United States.

After the passing of both his parents, Richard entered a newera 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 jumpinto the fast lane to keep up with the high-speed pace ofRichard’s buying and selling.

By the 1980s, collecting had moved into the mainstream ofAmerica, and Richard became a leader in selling all levels ofdolls. He encouraged the success of others and supportedthe creation of a code of ethics in the doll world by becomingthe first president of the National Antique Doll DealersAssociation. He became a headline-maker internationally fromhis high-end purchases. His bearded face was plastered onthe 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 asthough they did, from his countless appearances on the PBStelevision show Antiques Roadshow. But the most significantbenefit of the show was meeting his life partner GlennStevens at his very first taping.

All along his career’s magical trail, which Richard would havelikened to the Yellow Brick Road, he embraced everythingand everyone he met. When Richard walked into a room offellow doll collectors, the atmosphere changed. It becameelectric. It became fun.

More than 50 years of doll collecting is represented in thiscatalog. By studying this collection it is very easy to seeRichard’s many facets. He was not a doll snob, he loved thecommon, the unusual, the rare, and the original. In hiscollection, you can see both his sense of humor and hispreference for things that were “genuine.”

I asked myself, what would Richard say of the sale of hiscollection? And in my head, I heard his voice saying what Ihad heard him tell so many customers—“That’s a cool doll,you should buy that.”
