Why You'll Love It
This festive set of three miniature holiday gift pieces is a charming celebration of Christmas cheer in 1:12 scale. The highlight of the grouping is a red silk-lined container, beautifully decorated with tiny poinsettias, ribbons, and greenery, and signed by the artist Ann Monteiro. It overflows with rolled wrapping papers, a small Santa image, metallic gold paper, and ribbon trims—as if ready for a day of joyful wrapping.
Accompanying it are two custom-wrapped presents, one in bright red with a green bow and the other in classic green with a red bow—each finished with meticulously tied ribbons and realistic textures. Together, the trio brings instant warmth and authenticity to dollhouse Christmas scenes, shop counters, or cozy parlor displays.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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