Antique Miniature Dollhouse Gilt Hand Painted Bronze Enamel Adult Chair Romantic
This is a FABULOUS and unique, antique gilt bronze and hand painted enamel chair with gorgeous bow-shaped finial and curved legs. This is a lovely one-of-a-kind ornamental chair, which has been delicately hand painted with two different scenes; one is a pair of lovers relaxing outdoors, the lady doing some reading, and the gentleman playing the mandolin or lute; the other is a pair of lovers sitting very closely, in the countryside. The framing around the enamel is really lovely, the back has a geometric style pattern. It is perfectly sized for a dollhouse adult doll to enjoy. As you can see in the second photo, I have two chairs, each listed separately. If you are interested in winning both, please see my other listings.
This wonderful little miniature was from a collection, 40 years in the making.  Every collection has a story and this one is well, just wonderfully special. I was surprised to see such a tiny home with so many minis, the story behind the person, is that she lived a grand life in a large home, she traveled the world in search for artisan miniatures and boy did she find them.  This collection is so vast, it features miniatures from artisans around the world, most pre internet as she preferred to go to shows or meet the artisans directly but
what was so 'wonderfully' special to me, was in the last years of her life, she sold her estate, moved to a small home and surrounded herself with all of the things that made her happy...her miniatures and  I know she would want each piece to find a wonderful new collection to reside within.  Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Enjoy.

ATTENTION ARTISANS
I sell mainly VINTAGE miniatures, if you are an ARTISAN who made a particular miniature and recognize it as yours...Please contact me, I buy collections from former miniature collectors, many times I have to rely on the notes left by the former owners as MANY miniatures (as lovely as they are) are NOT marked.  If a miniature I have listed is yours but attributed to another artisan, kindly inform me and I will change the listing and or at the very least add a note to the listing.  I have heard from my customers that some artisans are sharing (gossiping) that I am purposely not adding their names to listings or I am listing someone else's name.  If your item is NOT marked, I list them as 'Unknown or Mystery Artisan', if there are notes from owner indicating who they believe it was made by, I will use their notes but change if I am told otherwise.  I respect and admire all artisans and would never intentionally give credit to a different artisan.  I also do not engage and I refrain from hurtful gossip, communication is key.
Selling Vintage and Antique Disclaimer
I sell Vintage and Antique items, typically they come with dust, scratches, bumps, bruises and the like (aka, they are not perfect but always still fabulous).  I do not claim, nor am I an expert on most things I list however, I do my best to accurately describe each and every item.  If I have missed something important or have made an error in a listing, please contact me as the more information the better.  If you purchase something from me, please pay on time or contact me prior to the listing ending so we can make arrangements.  I do my best to pack everything as if it were my own, but if during the postal ride it is broken or it is not as described, please contact me so we can figure out what to do to make us 'both' happy.  Leaving a negative feedback before attempting to let me know what's wrong is 'not' kind.  I work very hard to find, list and expertly ship each item...I treat customers the way I would like to be treated, please to the same in return.
