Why You’ll Love It
A handsome one-of-a-kind 1:12 scale artisan gentleman doll with sculpted porcelain features, real hair, and a real-hair mustache. His smiling face is finished with bright blue eyes, softly painted features, and thick curly dark brown hair, giving him an especially personable character.
He is dressed in a coordinated taupe-brown frock coat and matching trousers, with contrasting lighter lapel and collar details. Beneath the coat is an intricately patterned black-and-white brocade waistcoat, layered over a crisp white high-collared shirt and finished with a petite black bow tie. Sculpted black dress shoes complete the formal period ensemble. His flexible body bends at the waist and elbows, allowing him to be posed either standing or seated.
Perfect for
A Victorian or Edwardian parlor, gentleman’s club, hotel, formal dining room, drawing room, study, shop, theater scene, or period social gathering. His friendly expression also makes him a natural choice for a host, shopkeeper, businessman, entertainer, or well-dressed houseguest.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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