Why You’ll Love It
A striking example of modern miniature artistry, this Art Deco display cabinet by Cristina Noriega Morán (Spain, IGMA Artist) is a masterclass in form and craftsmanship. Its distinctive rounded, drum-like silhouette is crafted in richly figured burl wood, showcasing organic patterning that feels both sculptural and refined. The cabinet is fitted with elegant curved glass-paneled doors framed by delicate geometric tracery—an unmistakable nod to Art Deco design.
Inside, glass shelves create a luminous stage for display, here complemented by three amber-toned glass vessels, one is affixed with wax, the other two are glued in place. Marked #2 of only 10 ever made and dated 2023, this is a rare and highly collectible work—perfect for anchoring a sophisticated salon, gallery, or collector’s 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
