Why You’ll Love It
Handcrafted by Deirdre Wilgenburg of Derdriu Dolls in Belgium, this elegant porcelain lady is dressed for a Tudor court in beautifully coordinated silk damask. Her refined look includes softly styled golden hair, a traditional French hood with black veil, delicate jewelry, a fitted bodice, full patterned overskirt, pale underskirt, and a long gold cord accent falling gracefully at the front. Even her tiny leather shoes are beautifully finished. She is designed specifically for seated display, giving her a natural, poised presence in a formal historical setting.
Perfect for: Tudor court scenes, castle chambers, manor interiors, throne rooms, formal portrait settings, or collectors of fine European artisan 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
