Why You’ll Love It
This exquisite 1:12 scale Bru Jne antique-reproduction doll was handcrafted by renowned miniature artisan Pat Boldt, inspired by the highly collectible 19th-century French Bru dolls. Measuring just 1 ½” tall, she features a beautifully hand-painted porcelain face with a delicate, slightly solemn expression and soft blonde mohair curls. Her elaborate grey silk bonnet is adorned with layered ruffles, pleated trim, and delicate white lace. She wears a finely tailored blue woven bodice with intricate lace detailing, a white ruffled collar, and a multi-tiered pleated grey silk skirt accented by a tiny buckled sash. Delicate white lace socks and black painted shoes complete this exceptionally detailed doll's doll.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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