Why You’ll Love It
An exquisitely refined OOAK miniature armchair by celebrated artisan June Clinkscales, this elegant piece captures the grandeur of antique European seating in miniature form. The finely hand-carved wood frame is finished in luminous gold gilt, while the upholstery features richly detailed petit point tapestry in warm floral tones with delicate botanical motifs. Graceful curved arms with padded rests lend the chair an especially luxurious silhouette, while the reverse is beautifully finished in coordinating silk fabric. Sophisticated yet romantic, this chair would feel perfectly at home in a formal salon, library, drawing room, or beside a miniature fireplace layered with paintings and collected treasures. A stunning example of June Clinkscales’ artistry and attention to scale. Note there is a matching chair, listed separately.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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