Why You’ll Love It
This exceptional 1:12 scale Chippendale-style round accent table by IGMA Fellow Pierre Zador showcases intricate woodworking and ingenious functional design. Handcrafted in 1992, the table features a beautifully executed triangular parquetry tabletop, with carefully matched wood grain arranged in a geometric pattern and encircled by a delicate inlaid brass ring. The circular apron conceals three functional drawers, cleverly positioned around the table and fitted with miniature ornamental gilt-brass pulls. Three gracefully curved cabriole legs feature decorative gilt-brass knee mounts and finely carved ball-and-claw feet, connected by a distinctive Y-shaped wooden stretcher. The rich wood finish highlights the craftsmanship and elegant proportions of this unusual mechanical table. Artist-signed "P. Zador" and dated 1992 on the underside.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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