Why You’ll Love It
This exquisite rococo-style baby crib is a masterwork by June Clinkscales, created in 2014 as a one-of-a-kind custom commission. Hand-carved from wood and finished in a soft baby blue with lavish gilt detailing, the crib is crowned with a gracefully arched canopy draped in silk and lace, falling in gentle folds that pool delicately at the base and fully drape over its back. Painted floral cartouches and scrolling accents give this piece the feeling of an 18th-century French nursery. The interior bedding is softly padded and thoughtfully layered, making this crib as enchanting up close as it is from across the room. It is a statement miniature nursery centerpiece: ornamental, architectural, and deeply tender.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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