Why You’ll Love It
This breathtaking First Edition 1:12 scale Rococo settee was handcrafted by acclaimed American artisan Renee Isabelle and dated 1993. The graceful black lacquered wooden frame is richly carved with elegant Rococo styling, featuring sweeping pierced acanthus leaf scrollwork surrounding a magnificent central floral cartouche: an exquisite hand-painted bouquet of richly colored blossoms. The entire frame, including the crest rail, carved ornamentation, and elegant cabriole legs terminating in ball-and-claw feet, is highlighted with vintage German glass glitter gilding. The seat is upholstered in luxurious pale pink silk, finished with fine matching micro-braid gimp trim and delicate padded armrests. Signed as a First Edition.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
