Why You’ll Love It
A wonderfully characterful 1:12 scale artisan gentleman doll, hand-sculpted in clay and styled as a distinguished older academic or professional. His finely detailed face features swept-back grey hair, a matching grey mustache, and delicate round wire-rimmed eyeglasses, giving him an especially convincing scholarly appearance.
He is dressed in a textured grey-and-black tweed sport coat with miniature front pockets, layered over a light grey V-neck sweater vest and crisp white collared shirt. A deep burgundy cravat-style neck scarf adds a refined finishing touch, while straight-cut black trousers and sculpted black dress shoes complete the ensemble. His arms bend at the elbows, allowing for more natural positioning within a miniature scene, but he is standing only.
Perfect for
A professor’s office, library, university study, gentleman’s club, bookshop, law office, train station, hotel, or traditional home interior. He would also make an excellent professor, attorney, doctor, traveler, scholar, or businessman character.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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