Why You’ll Love It
This handsome Tudor-style gentleman by Derdriu Dolls is beautifully dressed in finely handcrafted silk period costuming, with layered sleeves, lace accents, decorative trim, and a feathered cap. His wavy blonde hair is paired with matching applied facial hair, giving him a wonderfully distinctive appearance. His arms and legs are bendable, allowing him to be posed standing, seated, or arranged naturally within a scene. He is especially effective posed as a court musician, although the instrument shown in some photographs is not included with this listing.
Perfect for: Tudor interiors, castle rooms, court scenes, musical displays, historic dollhouses, and collectors of Derdriu Dolls.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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