Why You’ll Love It
This is a lovely French mignonette-inspired porcelain girl dollhouse doll with the elegance and innocence of the treasured pocket dolls that enchanted Victorian and Edwardian children. Standing just over four inches tall, she has luminous inset blue glass eyes, delicately hand-painted lashes, softly blushed cheeks, and a sweet rosebud mouth. Her golden blonde mohair curls spill from beneath an elaborate lace-trimmed straw bonnet tied with pale silk ribbons. Her pink silk dress has layers of fine lace, pleated ruffles, and a charming floral bouquet adorns her waist. She has slightly movable arms, painted Mary Jane shoes and knee-length stockings.
Perfect for displaying in a Victorian nursery, doll collection, toy shop, child's bedroom, Edwardian manor, heirloom vignette, or alongside antique-inspired dollhouse furnishings.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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