Why You’ll Love It
An artisan gentleman doll, hand-sculpted in clay and dressed in a finely tailored blue-grey wool three-piece suit. His face has a strong, distinctive character with a receding hairline, mature features, and full grey-and-black walrus mustache.
He wears a FABULOUS blue-grey jacket, matching waistcoat, and loose-cut trousers, with tiny buttons detailing the front of the vest. A crisp cream high-collared shirt and wide brown necktie complete the formal look, while sculpted dark brown dress shoes finish the ensemble. He is designed in a fixed standing pose.
Perfect for
A gentleman’s club, bank, law office, hotel lobby, private study, business office, formal parlor, railway station, or period city scene. He would work particularly well as a banker, businessman, solicitor, hotelier, industrialist, or senior executive.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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