Why You’ll Love It
A wonderfully delicate and highly unusual Victorian lace collar display, beautifully presented on its original padded silk and wire hanger. Crafted in soft ivory lace with an elegant high-neck silhouette, this tiny couture accessory captures the romance and refinement of late Victorian fashion. The collar is richly embellished with a sparkling pink rhinestone brooch at the throat, tiny pearlized glass bead “buttons” along both the front and back neckline, and trailing ivory silk ribbon ties that soften the piece with graceful femininity. The ornate openwork lace and miniature tailoring give it the feeling of a treasured heirloom preserved from an aristocratic dressing room. Exquisite displayed in a dollhouse boudoir, couture salon, dressing screen vignette, or draped within a refined manor wardrobe scene.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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