Why You’ll Love It
Created by celebrated South African miniature artisan Debbie Dixon-Paver, this elegant lady has been hand-sculpted from fine porcelain and beautifully painted. She has cascading red hair and is dressed in a stunning historical-inspired evening ensemble fashioned from textured dark pewter gray silk. The off-the-shoulder bodice is accented with miniature cream roses and delicate lace trim, with a dramatic pleated skirt and an impressive trailing train. Painted long black opera gloves and a black choker with a cameo charm provide the perfect finishing touches.
Perfect for a grand ballroom, Victorian manor, elegant drawing room, formal reception, or opera 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
