Why You’ll Love It
This head-turning Dana Burton Rococo-era court lady feels as though she has stepped directly from the salons of Versailles or an elaborate masquerade ball. She has a striking porcelain face, dramatic gaze, and towering powdered coiffure accented with handmade pink roses. The pale sage silk dress is constructed with wide panniers and richly embellished black & gold silk overlays, gold metallic trim, ribbon swags, and hand-formed roses. A long powdered curl falls gracefully over her shoulder, while black lace cuffs, a ribbon choker, and a tiny lace fan complete the ensemble.
Perfect for a French salon, palace interior, Rococo ballroom, masquerade scene, aristocratic townhouse, Marie Antoinette vignette, or elegant eighteenth-century setting.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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