Why You’ll Love It
Wonderfully nostalgic, these tiny ballet slippers or pointe shoes were handmade by The Doll’s Cobbler. Crafted from leather and finished to resemble soft pink satin, the shoes feature squared toe boxes, giving them the appearance of well-loved ballet slippers waiting for the next rehearsal or performance. Long pink ribbons extend from each shoe and are tied together at the top, allowing them to be displayed exactly as a dancer might hang her shoes after class. Tiny bows decorate the fronts.
They can be hung from a bedroom doorknob, draped over a dressing mirror, displayed in a dance studio, or tucked beside a dollhouse vanity. They are equally at home in a child's room, a theatrical setting, or a collector's display devoted to the performing arts.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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