Why You’ll Love It
A wonderfully theatrical addition to a Tudor banquet table, this hand-crafted miniature by Val Adams of Gramarye Keep features a heap of richly roasted clay pigs arranged on a pewter platter. The deep browned finish and sculpted details give the meats an impressively convincing roasted appearance, making this tiny feast feel right at home in a lavish castle dining hall. Created in the UK by Val Adams, Gramarye Keep pieces are especially distinctive for their imaginative, highly detailed interpretations of historic and fantasy subjects.
Perfect for: Tudor and medieval banquet scenes, castle kitchens, historic dining tables, feast 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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
