Why You’ll Love It
This richly dressed Tudor gentleman is a one-of-a-kind porcelain doll handcrafted by V. Hutchinson of Small Fry in 2002. His elaborate costume combines jewel-toned fabrics, decorative trims, a dramatic lace ruff, dark cape, feathered hat, and tall boots for a wonderfully theatrical period look. His arms and legs can be bent and posed, making him especially useful for seated scenes or storytelling displays. He is signed beneath his cape and on his stand.
Perfect for:
Tudor and Renaissance interiors, historical dollhouses, royal court scenes, great halls, period room boxes, and artisan doll collections.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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