Why You’ll Love It
Almudena Gonzalez of Spain is an incredible miniature artist. Her tiny dolls are light hearted, fun and filled with details. This little 18th Century couple is a perfect example of her work. Standing just 1 1/2” tall, the female has the most exquisite dress of all silk, there are embroidered flowers, lace cuffs, a corset and tiny ringlets with roses. Her companion is dressed in a silk suit tailored an incredible long jacket, a vest with crystal buttons, a silk tie and cashmere knickers. These companions stand on a silk covered wood platform.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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