Why You’ll Love It
Graceful, and contemplative, this Dana Burton porcelain doll captures a quiet moment of reflection as a young lady reclines with a book on an attached chaise lounge. She has a thoughtful pose, serene expression, and a flowing yellow silk Regency-style gown. The chaise has mahogany-finished woodwork, and shimmering mauve-pink satin upholstery. Perfect for Regency, Victorian, literary, or romantic dollhouse settings. Display her in a library, parlor, bedroom sitting area, or beside a miniature collection of books and portraits.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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