Why You’ll Love It
Whimsical, ethereal, and beautifully detailed, this enchanting fairy marionette by celebrated artisan Almudena Gonzalez looks as though she has drifted straight from a woodland fairy tale. Combining the charm of a traditional puppet with the delicate elegance of a fantasy figure, she features a hand-painted porcelain face framed by cascades of golden ringlet curls. Her romantic styling is enhanced by a shimmering gold mesh halo adorned with tiny pink rosebuds, while delicate wings extend gracefully from her back.
She has an elegant hand-painted porcelain face framed by long, tight blonde ringlet curls. She wears a wide, gossamer-thin gold mesh halo or sunburst headdress tucked with tiny pink rosebuds. She is dressed in an ethereal, multi-layered sage green dress with shredded, flowing hems. The gown is cinched at the waist with a garland belt of pink flowers and a purple gemstone medallion at the neckline. Small, iridescent glitter wings extend from her back. She hangs suspended by fine strings from a miniature wooden controller.
Perfect for a ballet studio, puppet theater, performing arts scene, nursery, dressing room vignette, fairy tale display, or a collection of artisan miniature marionettes.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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