Why You’ll Love It
This is a sophisticated Judith Laird society lady doll made of hand sculpted clay. She is a mature lady with a thoughtful, almost wistful expression, delicate age lines, and softly modeled features. She is dressed in a formal black silk gown beneath an elegant black-and-gold silk overcoat, richly detailed with miniature gold buttons and a luxurious faux-fur collar. Her coordinating birdcage-style headpiece and understated jewelry complete the ensemble.
Perfect for a grand townhouse, theater lobby, elegant dining room, opera scene, wealthy widow's residence, Edwardian parlor, or formal winter gathering.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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