Why You’ll Love It
Meet Ol' Fred wonderfully character-rich coastal fisherman doll with a weathered face, soft greying beard, and quiet maritime charm. He was masterfully made by the talented miniature doll artist, Tanya Harvey. Dressed in a removable black slicker coat, as well as a classic cap, and textured knitted turtleneck sweater, Fred is someone who has spent a lifetime watching tides and weather. His bendable poseable limbs add personality and storytelling possibilities. He is made of hand-sculpted clay. Perfect seated on a dock, aboard a fishing boat, beside a harbor cottage, or in a seaside study vignette.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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