Why You’ll Love It
This is a gorgeous OOAK hand-painted armoire cabinet by Aurearte Miniatures (Barcelona). A classic Bespaq wood armoire cabinet has been transformed into a breathtaking custom piece. It has been refinished in a soft powder blue and adorned with delicate gold gilt accents, highlighting its elegant cabriole legs, scrolled apron, and ornate bonnet crest. The exterior door panels are exquisitely hand-painted with graceful peacocks perched among flowering branches, creating a romantic decorative motif reminiscent of fine antique European painted furniture. When opened, the armoire reveals mirrored interior doors, four display shelves on the left, and a hanging pole on the right, making it a functional storage piece and an impressive centerpiece for a refined miniature bedroom or dressing 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
