Why You’ll Love It
“The Singer” by James Carrington is a rare OOAK entirely hand-sculpted dollhouse character doll in clay. Her head is tiled back, eyes closed, mouth open in full voice, arms lifted in a dramatic flourish that conveys pure emotion. She is wearing a rich fuchsia silk dress embellished with glittering gold and crystal beading on the bodice and hips. A bold silk flower corsage is on her shoulder. Her gold necklace and earrings catch the light. Perfect for a jazz club stage, a cabaret vignette, or as the centerpiece of an Art Deco music room.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
