Why You’ll Love It
Brimming with warmth, this delightful Geppetto and Pinocchio pairing captures a tender moment between the beloved woodcarver and his lively creation. Geppetto sits with a joyful, proud expression, there is no chair included, but he is ready to sit on the chair, stool or bench of your choosing! He has wispy white hair and a bushy white mustache. His tiny spectacles are perched on his nose, rejoicing as if he has just brought his puppet to life. He is dressed in cozy, old-world attire — a textured vest layered over a soft shirt, a neatly tied bow at his collar, a leather workshop apron and traditional knee length trousers. The Pinocchio marionette is dressed in bright storybook colors with a jaunty hat, bow tie, and classic outfit, posed as though ready to dance or take his first steps toward adventure. This piece seems straight out of a fairy tale.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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