Why You’ll Love It
This extraordinary OOAK Victorian square piano by George Becker (1982) faithfully captures the opulence of the famed 1853 “jeweled piano.” Hand-carved in dark wood with intricate Rococo carvings, it offers commanding presence in 1:12 scale.
The keyboard features mother-of-pearl keys and tortoiseshell accents, while ornate casework and sculptural legs reflect Becker’s mastery. Signed and dated, this museum-quality piece serves as a striking focal point—perfect for a formal music room, grand salon, or refined collector’s display.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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