Why You’ll Love It
A charming 1:12 scale artisan gentleman doll, hand-sculpted in clay and designed in a natural fixed seated pose. His friendly face features short neatly combed brown hair, defined brows, and a gentle smile, while his hands rest neatly clasped in his lap for a relaxed, composed appearance.
He is dressed in a finely textured charcoal grey three-piece tweed suit with matching jacket, trousers, and waistcoat. A crisp white high-collared shirt, patterned tie with subtle green and blue tones, and a tiny coordinating pocket square add polished finishing details. His crossed-leg pose is completed with sculpted black dress shoes with miniature lace detailing.
Perfect for
A gentleman’s club, hotel lounge, private study, formal parlor, waiting room, railway station, office, or period sitting room. Especially useful for scenes that need a naturally seated businessman, traveler, guest, clerk, or club member.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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