Why You'll Love It
This rare, one-of-a-kind miniature porcelain figurine by esteemed English artisan Tricia Street depicts a spirited Georgian gentleman or courtier, captured mid-gesture with remarkable movement and personality. Hand-sculpted and hand-painted, the figure wears elegant 18th-century period dress—a flowing green waistcoat, fitted vest, breeches, and blue-accented sleeves—finished with a traditional powdered grey wig evocative of the Georgian and Colonial eras. The dynamic pose, lifted hand, and sweeping coat tails recall the theatrical grace of Meissen and Dresden porcelain figures, translated here into an exquisitely scaled dollhouse miniature. This piece displays beautifully on a pedestal, in a formal salon or music room, or paired with other Tricia Street Georgian figures to create a refined narrative vignette.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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