Why You’ll Love It
This exquisite infant baby girl doll by renowned IGMA artisan Catherine Muniere of France captures the tender stillness of a sleeping newborn, nestled peacefully within her hand-woven pink Moses basket bassinet, which is also included. Sculpted in fine clay with softly painted features and closed eyes, she wears delicate hand knit clothing and holds her tiny bottle. The basket’s intricate crochet work and gentle floral edging elevate the piece into a miniature heirloom, perfect for creating a heartfelt moment in a dollhouse nursery, beside a miniature cradle, or within a family bedroom vignette, where it brings warm storytelling and exceptional artisan craftsmanship.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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