Why You’ll Love It
A lovely one-of-a-kind Victorian lady doll by artisan Dana Burton for Magpie Miniatures, it captures a quiet moment of reflection as she turns the pages of a treasured antique scrapbook filled with miniature postcards and keepsakes. She has a pretty hand-painted face, she has a late Victorian era brunette side braid. She is dressed in a richly tailored plaid gown accented with a high lace collar, dramatic charcoal ruffles, and delicate crimson ribbon details. A finely knitted lace shawl drapes gracefully over her arms while she sits in a charming white armchair trimmed with lace and upholstered fabric panels. The scrapbook and chair are included. Display her in a Victorian parlor, library, sitting room, an attic, or beside a writing desk filled with correspondence and family heirlooms.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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