Why You’ll Love It
This is a darling one-of-a-kind Beatrix Potter-inspired storage bench vignette by artisan Bridget McCarty. Hand-painted in a soft sage green and adorned with painted delicate radish vine motifs, the cottage-style bench features two functioning drawers and a cushioned daybed seat. It is topped with a trio of decorative pillows. One is green gingham, and the others feature Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny. Nestled among the pillows sits an adorable handcrafted mohair bunny doll dressed in a lace-trimmed purple silk dress with a tiny flower tucked beside her ear.
Perfect for displaying in a nursery, child's bedroom, storybook cottage, Beatrix Potter-themed room, spring vignette or heirloom toy shop scene.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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