Why You’ll Love It
This is a rare, signed and dated Rosemarie Torre miniature sewing stand. Created in 1981, the hand-painted wooden stand features graceful cabriole legs, floral decorations, soft lavender accents, and a hinged top that opens to reveal a treasure trove of sewing supplies. Inside are colorful thread spools, scissors, ribbons, trims, and sewing notions, creating the appearance of an actively used workbox awaiting its next project (all of these accessories are included).
Perfect for displaying in a sewing room, Victorian parlor, craft studio, dressmaker's shop or cottage interior.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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