Why You’ll Love It
This handsome Tudor-style gentleman by Derdriu Dolls is a beautifully dressed, one-of-a-kind porcelain doll created for a richly detailed period interior. His bendable arms and legs can be positioned how you wish, making him especially wonderful for seated scenes or posed holding a musical instrument. Layers of silk, cotton, and linen give his elaborate costume wonderful texture, finished with tiny leather shoes and a dramatic feathered hat. A maker’s tag beneath his jacket identifies him as an original Derdriu Dolls creation. (Note: You are only purchasing the Tudor style gentleman doll only. The Ken Manning lute shown is listed separately.)
Perfect for:
Tudor and Renaissance interiors, musician scenes, historical room boxes, period collections, and artisan doll displays.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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