Why You’ll Love It
This exceptional pair of 1:12 scale artisan chairs by Bluette Maloney, an award-winning IGMA artisan. Each chair is meticulously hand carved from wood and finished in an elegant black lacquer with delicate hand-painted gilt accents highlighting the crest rail, apron, and graceful cabriole legs. The pink silk upholstery has been beautifully hand-painted in the refined Louis XVI style, featuring delicate ribbon swags, bows, and floral garlands. Matching miniature silk cord and gimp trim neatly finish every edge. Minor glue residue is present on the seat upholstery.
Perfect for a formal dining room, salon, bedroom, or sitting room, these chairs embody the elegance of French neoclassical design.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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