Why You’ll Love It
Handcrafted by acclaimed miniature artisan James Carrington, this characterful heavy set lady has deeply sculpted wrinkles, softly drooping eyelids, and a no-nonsense, rather stern expression. She is dressed for a day out, she wears a tailored cream overcoat layered over a sophisticated black-and-gold floral dress, while her iridescent pink/gold handbag with gold chain handle and emblem. She has realistic salt-and-pepper curls topped with a matching fur-trimmed cream hat.
Perfect for a town scene, shopping district, department store, railway station, city street, village setting, retirement cottage, family dollhouse, or bustling neighborhood 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
