Why You’ll Love It
This exceptionally rare ball-jointed resin doll by celebrated Swiss miniature maker Heidi Ott is a Rococo era little boy. Dressed in a rich red silk period coat trimmed with gold braid over a lace jabot and dark breeches, he carries a tiny violin and bow, a young musician ready for a salon performance. His beautifully styled powdered white hair is gathered into a graceful ponytail with ribbon. Fully articulated and in pristine condition. He comes complete with his original box and has never been displayed. He is perfect for a music room, formal parlor, or historical vignette.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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