Why You’ll Love It
This handsome one-of-a-kind Tudor-style gentleman is an artisan-made porcelain doll with beautifully detailed period clothing and wonderful display versatility. His arms and legs can be bent and posed, allowing him to stand, sit, or hold a miniature instrument. He wears layered silk garments accented with rich trims, a fur-style collar, fitted cap, and tiny leather shoes. The artist is unknown, but the craftsmanship and elaborate costuming give him the presence of a distinctive collector piece.
Perfect for:
Tudor and Renaissance interiors, musician scenes, royal court settings, historical dollhouses, period room boxes, and artisan doll collections.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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