Why You’ll Love It
This fabulous and feminine 1:12 scale miniature sterling silver dressing table vanity mirror was handcrafted by Dimitri Shevchenko, a talented miniature silversmith from Russia. Inspired by early 18th-century European originals, this piece features an oval-shaped mirror, set within an ornately detailed sterling frame adorned with filigree, floral motifs, and ribbon ornamentation. Two fluted column supports allow the mirror to gently tilt, while the rectangular base includes a functioning pull-out drawer perfect for a bedroom, boudoir, or dressing room, and pairs beautifully with silver toiletry sets, brushes, or perfume bottles.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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