Why You’ll Love It
Inspired by the beloved Pierrot character of French pantomime and commedia dell'arte, this tiny hand-painted toy is made of hand-painted English Pewter by Warwick Miniatures (England). The Pierrot comes with his dark wooden presentation box. He is dressed in a traditional white costume accented with black trim, a ruffled collar, and black cap. In his hands he carries a bouquet of red roses. His arms are hinged so that the bouquet can be lifted or lowered in front of him. The sliding lid of his custom box is decorated with a charming vintage-style illustration of the Pierrot himself, echoing the colorful graphics found on antique toy boxes and mechanical novelties.
Whether displayed in a toy shop, nursery, theater scene or elegant Victorian parlor, this unique miniature immediately becomes a conversation piece.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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