Why You’ll Love It
This exquisite 1:12 scale “A Marque” antique-reproduction pocket doll was handcrafted by Grand-Master doll artisan Pat Boldt, inspired by classic 19th-century French character dolls. Measuring just ¾” tall, this tiny porcelain doll's doll features delicately hand-painted facial details, rosy cheeks, and a beautifully styled blonde mohair wig adorned with an oversized pale blue ribbon bow. Her intricately tailored pink-and-blue floral chintz dress features a full skirt, delicate puffed sleeves, and layers of exceptionally fine white lace trim. Designed in a fixed seated position, her tiny bare feet peek out beneath the dress, completing this beautifully detailed antique-inspired miniature.
Perfect For
A Victorian or Edwardian nursery, antique doll shop, dollhouse child's toy collection, miniature display cabinet, nursery shelf, or a collection of French antique-reproduction pocket dolls.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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