Why You’ll Love It
A richly romantic companion piece by acclaimed miniature artisan June Clinkscales, this exquisite OOAK gilt armchair is upholstered in beautifully detailed petit point tapestry depicting a pastoral landscape in warm jewel-toned florals and soft greenery. The finely hand-carved wood frame is accented with luminous gold gilt, delicate finials, and graceful padded arm rests finished with tassel trim for an especially refined silhouette. The reverse is elegantly completed in coordinating silk fabric, lending the chair a polished presentation from every angle. Sophisticated and quietly opulent, this chair would be stunning placed in a French salon, grand sitting room, library, or layered into an eclectic collector’s interior beside paintings, objets d’art, and richly upholstered furnishings. A marvelous example of June Clinkscales’ unmistakable craftsmanship and artistry in miniature. I have an additional matching chair which has been 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
