Why You’ll Love It
Richly patterned, festive, and exceptionally fine in scale, this 1:12 dollhouse Christmas stocking was designed and hand-stitched by renowned IGMA Artisan Natalia Frank. The stocking features a beautifully symmetrical Scandinavian- or Fair Isle-inspired motif worked in deep red and ivory using an ultra-fine petit point technique over microscopic canvas. Peeking cheerfully over the cuff is a hand-sculpted miniature elf in classic red and white, joined by a tiny striped candy cane. The combination of master-level needlework and playful holiday character gives this piece both heirloom appeal and storybook charm. The items are attached to the stocking.
Perfect for
It is perfect for a dollhouse fireplace, Christmas morning scene, child’s bedroom, holiday parlor, or elegant seasonal display. It would also be a lovely addition to a collection of fine petit point, IGMA artisan work, or heirloom Christmas 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
