Why You’ll Love It
This is a striking winter-clad lady made of clay by acclaimed British miniature artisan James Carrington. Her expressive face is sculpted with remarkable realism, featuring softly defined wrinkles, heavy-lidded eyes, and a wonderfully self-assured haughty upward gaze that suggests a woman accustomed to making an entrance wherever she goes. She is beautifully dressed for a cold-weather outing in a sophisticated cream ensemble consisting of a tailored pinstriped dress and matching wool coat lavishly trimmed with luxurious faux fur at the collar and cuffs. Her coordinating fur hat frames her salt-and-pepper coiffure, while a metallic gold handbag adds a fashionable finishing touch.
Perfect for a winter street scene, holiday shopping district, department store display, railway station, upscale town setting or family dollhouse.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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