Why You'll Love It
This is 'The Geisha' statue, a stunning piece from the long retired Oriental Collection, a collaboration between sculptor Robert Olszewski and Goebel. Dated 1985, and hand signed on the back by the artist himself, this Japanese-style figurine is crafted from bronze, then delicately cold-painted in multiple layers of color to resemble a geisha woman in her with her fan and kimono, standing in the grass. Her graceful pose and elegant form capture the timeless beauty of a geisha.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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