I connected with a collector looking to downsize several horse-drawn carriages, sleighs and a high wheel bike in 1:12 scale...these are artisan crafted but unsigned so we don't know the maker. These are made of metal, some with tufted leather benches (#swoon), spoked wheels with rubber and real suspensions for a smooth mini ride...stay tuned as I prepare these pieces for auction while I hope this will ignite creativity!
Stay tuned for more information and thank you for taking a look!

Audrey Bagby (1939-2025) was California dollhouse miniatures enthusiast and fine art miniatures collector who was active in the miniatures community, mostly throughout the 1970s through the 90s, during what is considered "the Golden Age" of miniatures. She was particularly active in NAME, the National Association of Miniature Enthusiast where she attended shows and took classes, learning to craft work in small scale. She is remembered as a spirited and elegant soul of the West Coast miniatures world who poured her energy into the community for more than 4 decades.
Audrey amassed a vast collection of unique and interesting fine art miniature treasures, and I'm thrilled to be ushering her curated assortment into new hands where they will be as adored as they were when they were in her hands.
Stay tuned for more information and thank you for taking a look!
