Why You’ll Love It
A whimsical and beautifully detailed early Randall Zadar miniature, this retired 1997 piece titled “Angels At Play” features a graceful winged figure accompanied by a tiny cherub, both surrounded by delicate pink blossoms and flowing Rococo-inspired scrollwork. Soft pastel enameling, gilt accents, and finely sculpted wings create an elegant sense of movement and charm. Produced as #34 of Zadar’s creations, this early micro miniature was limited to only 79 examples ever made. Inspired by an antique bronze original, each piece was created using the ancient lost wax bronze casting process, beginning as a hand-sculpted wax model before being individually cast and meticulously hand-finished by Randall Zadar. Rich with romantic character and extraordinary detail for its tiny scale, this enchanting treasure makes a beautiful shelf sitter for a dollhouse parlor, nursery, or fairy-inspired vignette.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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