Through the years, as an active member of the miniatures community, Sharon has developed a GREAT eye for high-quality, exceptional and some of the most sought after artisan miniatures. The collection is highlighted by more than a dozen pieces by the iconic IGMA Fellow Ferd Sobol (Ferd Sobol Editions) including a Louis XIV desk, a complete dining set with 6 chairs and a dressed canopy bed with stunning wood inlay (#swoon!). Each piece is in excellent condition and shipped in their original custom miniature crates crafted by Mr. Sobol.
