Why You’ll Love It
This beautifully detailed 1:12 scale miniature sewing trousseau was handcrafted by artisan Diane Yunnie, featuring a 2” tall porcelain girl doll and a coordinating presentation box filled with tiny sewing accessories. The doll has delicately hand-painted facial features, long blonde ringlets, and a charming gray-blue silk dress with intricate white lace trim, pearl-like buttons, and a matching bonnet. The keepsake box features a soft blue floral exterior, delicate lace edging, and a hinged lid. Inside are a miniature black-and-gold Singer sewing machine, tiny scissors, spools of thread, sewing notions, folded fabrics, and miniature patterns. The lid displays additional sewing accessories against a pale pink lace-trimmed background.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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