Why You’ll Love It
This whimsy-filled 1:12 scale Christmas stocking is a tiny work of needlework art made with extreme attention to detail by the talented IGMA textile artist, Natalia Frank. The front of this lovely blue stocking is covered in finely stitched hand petit point needlework, depicting a whimsical white unicorn surrounded by colorful flowers beneath a delicate metallic gold star. A soft fur-trimmed cuff gives it a cozy holiday finish, while the top overflows with attached miniature treasures: two sculpted candy canes, greenery sprigs, and a tiny hand-sculpted china-head style baby doll. It is wonderfully detailed and beautifully suited to an heirloom-style Christmas setting.
Perfect For
Perfect for a Christmas mantel, child’s bedroom, nursery, fantasy-themed dollhouse, traditional holiday parlor, or collector’s display of fine miniature needlework. It is especially charming alongside artisan stocking holders and other individually crafted Christmas accessories.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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