Why You’ll Love It
An eyecatching female blackamoor figure by celebrated IGMA artist John Hodgson (UK), made in heavy metal with luminous 24kt gold accents and set upon a faux marble pedestal, dated 1999. It has a graceful pose of one arm raised and the other presenting a small dish. Historically, European home would display such figures as exotic conversation pieces. A great piece for placing near a dollhouse mantel, in an entrance hall vignette, beside a grand staircase, or as a statement object in a formal salon or gallery room.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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