Why You’ll Love It
A charming millinery display bust that is perfect for the display counter of an elegant Victorian hat salon. A softly painted porcelain lady’s head and shoulders modeling delicate fashion details, elevated above a wooden pedelstal base. A woven brown straw-style hat is adorned with a flowing yellow ribbon, lavender floral accents, and a sweeping white feather, while the finely detailed gold lace collar and tiny beaded necklace add a refined finishing touch. Perfect displayed in a dressing room, millinery shop, lady’s boudoir, or fashion vignette.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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