Why You’ll Love It
A richly detailed Tudor banquet piece by Val Adams of Gramarye Keep, this miniature platter is piled high with roasted chickens, each hand-sculpted in clay and finished with deep browned tones that give them an impressively convincing roasted appearance. Presented on a traditional pewter platter, the abundant arrangement has the wonderfully over-the-top look of a feast prepared for a great hall. Created in the UK, it is a characterful piece for collectors of historic food miniatures and Gramarye Keep work.
Perfect for: Tudor and medieval banquet tables, castle kitchens, great hall scenes, historic food displays, and collectors of Val Adams or Gramarye Keep miniatures.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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