Why You’ll Love It
This little lamb pull toy has been hand-painted and is wonderfully primitive in style for a dollhouse nursery, playroom, or toy shop display. Cast entirely from metal, the sweet lamb is painted in a soft cream color with tiny dark eyes and subtle textured wool, and stands atop a cheerful sky-blue rolling platform fitted with four contrasting mustard-yellow wheels. A light pink collar around its neck adds a delightful pop of color and folk-art appearance. At the front of the cart, a small loop allows a string to be attached, just as a child would have pulled it along the nursery floor.
A wonderful piece for a Victorian nursery, an early twentieth-century child's bedroom, a toy shop display, or tucked beside a rocking horse or dollhouse cradle.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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