Why You’ll Love It
A charming 1:12 scale artisan gentleman doll, hand-sculpted in clay and full of personality. This cheerful older gentleman has an expressive face with softly modeled features, pronounced character lines, and dark hair peeking out beneath his hat, giving him a warm, approachable presence.
He is dressed in a classic black pinstripe suit with matching jacket, trousers, and waistcoat layered over a crisp white collared shirt. A vivid cobalt blue necktie adds a wonderful pop of color against the darker clothing. He also wears a traditional black bowler hat and carries a detailed furled black umbrella with a curved wood-tone handle, adding to his polished, old-world look. His arms move and bend at the elbows, allowing for gentle posing.
Perfect for
A city street scene, railway platform, gentleman’s club, shopfront, hotel lobby, formal parlor, London-inspired vignette, or period sidewalk display. He would also make a wonderful commuter, businessman, barrister, shopkeeper, or distinguished passerby.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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