Why You'll Love It
A delightful one-of-a-kind miniature food diorama, an early work by renowned French artist Stephanie Kilgast of PetitPlat Miniatures, dated 2009. This charming vignette captures a quiet baking moment, centered around a small round loaf being generously spread with rich dark chocolate. The display features a tiny metal knife mid-spread, perfectly positioned as if awaiting a doll’s hand... alongside a white porcelain bowl filled with additional chocolate spread, half of a banana with neatly sliced rounds, all upon a miniature wooden cutting board softened by a casually draped plaid woven towel. A cozy piece for bakery scenes or kitchen vignettes.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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