Why You’ll Love It
This delightful 1:12 scale artisan miniature vignette was handcrafted by Marie-Pierre Gratias of MP Creations and captures her signature whimsical French shabby chic style in a charming Easter gardening scene. The entire composition is mounted on a distressed wooden base with faux moss accents for a finished display.
The scene features a tall white mohair rabbit dressed in pale striped dungarees with a crisp white collar and one of Gratias’ signature antique-style medallions. The rabbit holds a slender gold rod topped with a pink egg ornament while pushing a beautifully detailed wooden wheelbarrow decorated with vintage floral artwork. Seated inside the cart is a smaller fuzzy bunny companion, surrounded by pastel Easter eggs, a large decoupage egg with chick imagery, and vintage-style paper ephemera, including charming Victorian-inspired cutouts.
Perfect for
A spring or Easter display, whimsical nursery, shabby chic vignette, French country dollhouse, holiday scene, or a collection of heirloom-style artisan miniatures.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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