Why You’ll Love It
A wonderfully characterful 1:12 scale hand-sculpted clay gentleman doll by Philip Beglan, portraying an older country gentleman in classic Edwardian or early-20th-century sporting attire. His finely modeled face features pronounced age lines, a strong profile, graying brows, and a full gray-and-white handlebar mustache, giving him an especially distinctive presence.
He is dressed in a coordinated houndstooth tweed three-piece suit with matching jacket, waistcoat, and plus-four breeches, paired with a crisp light shirt and a bright red patterned necktie. A coordinating tweed flat cap, deep green ribbed knee socks, and detailed black leather-style boots complete the country look. His mid-stride stance adds a natural sense of movement and makes him especially effective in an outdoor or sporting scene.
Perfect for
A country estate, shooting lodge, hunting room, sporting club, village street, stable, tack room, garden, or traditional country-house interior. He would also work beautifully as a country squire, gamekeeper, sportsman, landowner, or gentleman outdoorsman.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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