Why You’ll Love It
Created by respected miniature artisan Barbara Johnson, this is an enchanting Victorian or Edwardian lady dollhouse doll. From her softly painted porcelain features and delicate blonde curls to her flowing floral attire, every detail evokes the leisurely charm of garden promenades, flower markets, and country estate strolls. She has a graceful, storybook quality that immediately draws the eye and invites imaginative scene-building.
She is beautifully dressed in a flowing pale peach gown decorated with subtle floral motifs and accented by an intricate lace-trimmed neckline. A coordinating wide-brimmed floral hat shades her face, while a delicate draped yellow lace shawl adds movement and refinement. The true highlight is her remarkable woven parasol-basket, overflowing with miniature purple lilacs and supported by a slender gold-toned handle.
Perfect for a Victorian garden, conservatory, flower market, gazebo, country estate, promenade scene, or an elegant Edwardian dollhouse 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
