Why You’ll Love It
Lady Valentine is the undeniable star of Magpie Miniatures’ Valentine’s Day Grand Opening: a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind porcelain doll designed exclusively for Magpie Miniatures by international doll artist, Dana Burton. Inspired by the romance and theatrical elegance of the 17th Century Rococo era, she wears an exquisite blush-pink silk gown with dramatic extra-wide panniers extending gracefully on both hips, creating a silhouette that is unapologetically opulent. Layers of delicate lace, soft pastel trims, and meticulously handmade floral embellishments adorn her gown and in her magnificent powdered white hair. She has a serene expression and poised posture. She is meant to be a centerpiece, a romantic vision of luxury destined for a lucky collector’s most treasured display.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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