Why You’ll Love It
Created by late IGMA Artisan Al Chandronnait, this is a wonderfully realistic barbecue preparation vignette. A weathered roasting pan brims with seasoned potatoes and cooked kebabs, nearby a removable tray of uncooked burger patties, sliced onions and colorful peppers. Also on the chopping board are ready-to-grill skewers, rustic artisan bread loaf with freshly cut slices, tiny potatoes, a paring knife, and a checkered kitchen cloth. Lots of potential for storytelling in your scenes with the variety of finished and in-progress foods. Perfect for a country kitchen, outdoor gathering, summer cookout, farmhouse dining room, or food-focused display.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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