Why You’ll Love It
A precious older Grandfather gentleman dollhouse doll was made by Jain Squires of The Giddy Kipper, in the UK. He has moveable arms and legs. He is made of gently sculpted clay. His face features soft wrinkles, prominent ears, expressive eyes, and sparse white hair surrounding a carefully modeled bald head. Dressed in a traditional patterned waistcoat vest over a striped shirt, dark tie, and dark trousers. He comes with a wearable pair of eyeglasses and a leather eyeglass case.
Perfect for a library, sitting room, retirement cottage, grandfather's study, family living room, village scene, doctor's waiting room, or multigenerational household 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
