Why You’ll Love It
A remarkable OOAK Victorian vignette by IGMA artist Gale Elena Bantock, featuring a hand-crafted wood and mixed media bedroom setting with a porcelain lady in elegant bedtime attire which includes a pink bodice, blue silk ribbon sash, and cream lace skirt, holding a delicate porcelain wash pitcher in one hand. Her red hair is styled in an elaborate updo with a golden hair ornament, standing beside a beautifully hand-painted bird-themed wardrobe cabinet with opening doors that reveal miniature undergarments within. The walls are dressed with floral wallpaper and a framed cherub painting, creating a refined late-Victorian atmosphere. Every element is handmade and permanently set within the scene, signed and dated 2023 by the artist.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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