Why You’ll Love It
A charming storybook miniature inspired by Gulliver’s Travels, this retired 2016 Randall Zadar piece titled “Gulliver Collection Cottage” depicts a tiny whimsical cottage with steep tiled rooftops, bright blue windows, delicate gilded accents, and soft green landscaping nestled around its base. Part of Zadar’s enchanting Gulliver Collection Set, the design captures the fanciful spirit of fairy-tale villages and imagined worlds in miniature. Crafted in hand-painted cold-painted bronze enamel using the ancient lost wax bronze casting process, each piece began as a hand-sculpted wax original before being individually cast and meticulously finished by the artist. One of only 50 examples produced, this delightful micro miniature makes a wonderful shelf sitter for a dollhouse nursery, fantasy scene, or whimsical display.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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