Why You’ll Love It
A handsome and finely crafted 1:12 scale artisan gentleman doll, hand-sculpted in clay and dressed in a formal black wool-linen suit. His face is especially expressive, with realistically sculpted age lines, softly painted features, and textured grey hair parted at the center, giving him the look of an elderly Victorian or Edwardian gentleman.
He wears a tailored black jacket and matching trousers over a coordinating black waistcoat, complete with a delicate silver-tone pocket watch chain draped across the front. A crisp white shirt and neatly tied black bow tie complete the formal ensemble, while sculpted black dress shoes finish the look. His body is poseable at the elbows and knees, allowing him to sit or stand naturally in a variety of miniature settings.
Perfect for
A formal parlor, gentleman’s club, drawing room, dining room, library, hotel, theater box, wedding scene, or period social gathering. He would work beautifully as a host, patriarch, club member, businessman, or distinguished guest.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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