Why You’ll Love It
This handsome Medieval-era gentleman is an artisan made 1:12 scale porcelain doll with wonderful period character. He is quite the charmer, with his long brown hair tied elegantly with a silk ribbon, along with his applied mustache and goatee. He is dressed in richly patterned silk garments with a ruffled collar, fitted doublet, full breeches, and an attached sword worn at his side. His arms and legs can bend, allowing him to be posed either standing or seated within a scene. On his feet are a pair of tiny handmade leather shoes. A goblet rests in his hand, perfect for creating a lively banquet or castle interior. The goblet is included but is not permanently attached.
Perfect for: Medieval and Tudor scenes, castle interiors, banquet displays, historic dollhouses, and collectors of finely made artisan dolls.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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