Why You’ll Love It
This is a well-detailed Carol Bull “Bags of Character” older gentleman doll with a high society, 1920s style. He has an expressive clay face features prominent brows, softly lined skin, large ears, a balding crown, and delicate wire-rimmed spectacles. He is perfect for casting as a retired professor, solicitor, banker, or family patriarch. He is impeccably dressed in classic semi-formal attire, including a beautifully tailored wool herringbone waistcoat layered over a striped shirt, dark necktie, and dark wool trousers. A tiny pocket watch chain is draped across his vest.
Perfect for a gentleman's study, library, lawyer's office, Victorian townhouse, grandfather's sitting room, bank office, or distinguished Edwardian vignette.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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