Why You’ll Love It
This is a one-of-a-kind porcelain companion doll by Pat Boldt made in the style of a late Victorian French Bébé. She has movable legs. Created at a scale intended for a dollhouse child to cherish as her favorite toy, the doll features a beautifully hand-painted porcelain face with expressive eyes, delicate multi-stroke brows, rosy lips, and softly curled blonde hair. Her costume combines pink silk with layers of antique lace trim. A matching silk bonnet frames her curls, while tiny black slippers and lace ankle socks complete the period look.
Perfect for displaying in a nursery, child's bedroom or toy shop.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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