Why You’ll Love It
This charming Victorian-to-Edwardian-era young lady is beautifully dressed in layers of cream lace, soft tulle, and a delicate periwinkle blue lace jacket. Her sweet hand-painted blue eyes, softly curled hair, and matching wide-brimmed silk hat give her the appearance of a child attending a garden party, promenade, or special family occasion. The tiny floral corsage at her waist and molded button boots add lovely finishing details. With flexible wire armatures beneath her clothing, she can be posed naturally throughout a dollhouse scene. Perfect for a nursery, garden gathering, village street, parlor, or afternoon tea 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
