Why You’ll Love It
A wonderfully elegant and exceptionally delicate Randall Zadar miniature, this retired 2001 piece titled “The Dance” was inspired by an antique German porcelain figurine, depicting a graceful dancing couple captured mid-step in classic Rococo fashion. Rendered in the painted color version, her flowing dress, their period attire, and tiny sculpted movement create the appearance of antique porcelain at an astonishing miniature scale. Produced as #63 of Zadar’s creations, this micro miniature is one of 51 pieces ever made. Crafted using the ancient lost wax bronze casting process, each piece began as a hand-sculpted wax original before being individually cast and meticulously hand-finished by Randall Zadar. Romantic and refined, this tiny treasure makes a beautiful shelf sitter for a dollhouse parlor, ballroom, music room, or European-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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
