is there much value for this Seymour Mann 22" connoisseur bride doll. I believe this doll is from 1999. Her name is Sylvie.
Seymour Mann was a leading importer of decorative collectibles and giftware in the US for more than 50 years. Mann founded his first venture in 1946. He is probably best known for his Connoisseur Doll Collection, introduced in the early 1980s.
I'm not sure what someone would call 'much value' but most of these dolls are mass-produced and sold value will rarely be more than $20-$45. The other problem is how long it may take to sell a doll (at any price).
The Seymour Mann Connoisseur Collection is the high-end series of the Seymour Mann dolls, so these do sometimes sell for slightly more and may sell a little faster.
It is difficult to search by a doll's name as sellers do not always show a name.
Remember that just because someone may list the doll for a lot of money does not mean it sells for that. Look at eBay's 'completed/sold' listings for a true idea of the value of the doll.

As an example; this is a beautiful doll from the same collection listed for sale for $5 plus shipping and still has not sold.
This is an auction so she might sell.

If you list your doll for sale; I would start at $65-$75 plus shipping.
I would also consider offers. You will need several good pictures and a good description.
List on sites like Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, only on eBay if you feel comfortable with doing listings.

Does anyone know if this doll is a real Seymour Mann? I don't think the stuffed kitty goes with her.
I can't find any other images of "Cindy" anywhere.
Can anyone tell me about the Rapunzel's wedding doll by Seymour Mann? I can not find it nowhere.
I did not find this same doll, but there are some similar dolls that may help if you are looking for value to perhaps sell.
Keep in mind that most of these dolls were mass-produced, so this fact usually places them in a low price bracket and since the doll market has been flooded for several years, sales are very slow.
You can see some similar dolls - all beautiful dolls but not many have sold for over $20-$30 and we have no way to know how long each doll has been listed for sale. One particular doll sold for $15.95 but had been listed for sale for over 2 years and this is not unusual.
This doll is very similar to your doll. listed for sale for $15.95.

Sorry that I could not be of very much help.
Doll forums do not usually answer very many questions about mass-produced dolls but you can still ask for help.

My mom bought dolls over the years. Now, as we empty her house, we are looking to sell them. Is it better to sell as lot? Individually? Is it even worth putting the time to sell them? Sorry about my ignorance but my sisters and I have no idea as to what to do with the dolls. We have 18 of them.
Thank you!
I believe the Seymour Mann dolls are some of the prettiest dolls but the doll market is flooded with all brands, sizes, and styles and this just makes the general value of almost all dolls very low.

I was gifted these two porcelain dolls from an elderly aunt. They're approx. 6 inches long, 100% porcelain except the hair, and weren't in a box. Sadly she passed before I could get any history. I can't locate anything online and only have the information sealed on their backs. The clothing appears to be crocheted and be the original outfits. The arms and legs are moveable with what feels to be a rubber band or similar item, but limbs themselves aren't bendable. If you can't read the backs in the photo, it states:
THE CONNOISSEUR
Doll Collection
* I can't make out the larger black letters, that has the name 'Seymour'
written above.
Seymour Mann, Inc
Bunny (?)
(Both numbered) 134/7500
Thank you in advance for any information you may have. Bless you,

Came across these in my attic. Does anyone know the value? Thank you!
Your dolls are from the Seymour Mann Connoisseur Collection and were made in 1996.
There are several different versions of the 2PC doll sets that seem to have been produced from 1995 to 1996.
I believe these sets are referred to as 'twins'.
These are from the same collection, but unfortunately do not have any information.

I did not find any similar doll sets that had sold recently, but I believe you can see from the examples provided, these dolls are valued at less than $35-$40 due to the length of posting with no sales.
Value would seem to be less than $25.
