Why You’ll Love It
This impressive eight-piece Tudor food collection by Dawn Lefley is enough to create an entire miniature feast. Handcrafted in clay and mixed media, the assortment includes richly detailed meats, game birds with real feathers, vegetables, breads, cheeses, and other period-style provisions arranged on wood boards, platters, in baskets, and around a rustic barrel. The varied textures and materials give the set wonderful realism, while the abundance of pieces makes it especially useful for filling a Tudor banquet table, kitchen, pantry, or great hall scene.
Perfect for: Tudor banquets, medieval kitchens, castle feasts, great halls, period dining rooms, market displays, or collectors of artisan miniature food.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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