Why You’ll Love It
This exceptional 1:12 scale Rococo console table was handcrafted in 1988 by the late English master miniaturist John J. Hodgson, IGMA Fellow. Inspired by the grandeur of 18th-century French palace furniture, it pairs a richly sculpted gilt-English pewter base with a dramatic genuine red jasper top custom-cut to follow the table’s serpentine outline. The polished stone displays deep crimson-brown tones, dark natural inclusions, and a striking pale quartz vein. Beneath it, the frame is alive with pierced scrollwork, acanthus foliage, a central female mascaron face, and four elegant cabriole legs, creating a true miniature work of decorative art.
Perfect For
Perfect for a French Rococo, Louis XV, palace, or grand European interior, this table would make a spectacular focal point in a formal salon, drawing room, gallery, or entrance hall. It is especially suited to collectors of John Hodgson furniture, IGMA Fellow works, precious-material miniatures, and museum-quality artisan pieces.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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