Why You’ll Love It
This handsome artisan-made porcelain gentleman is wonderfully dressed for a Tudor or Renaissance court. He has a full head of brunette hair and matching well-groomed facial hair. His layered costume combines patterned silk with a soft velvet cape, finished with a contrasting lining, decorative chain, lace cuffs, and a dramatic feathered hat. Striped breeches, stockings, and tiny handmade-style leather shoes complete the richly detailed period look. Designed permanently as a standing doll, he has a stately presence that works especially well beside a banquet table, in a castle chamber, or as part of a larger courtly gathering. Though unsigned, he is wonderfully artisan made.
Perfect for: Tudor and Renaissance interiors, castle scenes, royal courts, banquet rooms, historic dollhouses, 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
