The Collection/Collector's Story
This is about the sale of dollhouse miniatures treasures from the estate of Lucy Ungerman Seiler. Lucy's passion for miniatures was defined by creativity, curiosity, and an enduring love for small-scale worlds. This very large and diverse assortment moved to new homes through 7-day auctions (weekly/bi-weekly) beginning on Sundays in my eBay store throughout Spring and Summer of 2026.
This is one of the most extensive collections I've ever worked on, spanning across multiple categories, genres and scales. It includes carefully curated artisan and quality-crafted commercial miniatures in addition to delightful miniatures made by Lucy herself while attending countless workshops and seminars and a lifetime of learning from some of the most noted instructors in the miniatures world. This assortment appeals to collectors across the spectrum of interests and tastes and I hope has inspired and moved some into new directions! Lucy was an inspirational member of the miniatures community and "everyone" wanted to share in her joys.
Some of the categories this collection covered Fine Scale Furniture (Lynn Whisenant, Nic Nicols, Uncle Ciggies, Kari Bloom), Vintage Bespaq/JBM Miniatures and Artisan Reimagined Commercial Pieces, Decorative Accessories (Pottery, Porcelain, Painting, Sculpture), Food, Kitchen + Bakery Lots (Ann Ceasar), Whimsical Hand-Painted Furniture (Karen Markland) and Assemblages, Fine Flowers, Plants & Garden, Art Dolls & Artisan Toys (Backstrom, Krueger, Strauss), Structures, Dollhouses & Room Boxes (Bluette), Animals (Cats, Birds, Dogs), Small Scale (Half Scale + 1/144) and Assembled Kits, Chandeliers, Sconces, Period Lights (J. Getzan, Rose, Pounder), Themed Lots (Gentleman Study, Ladies Boudoir, Southwest, Asian-Inspired), Rugs, Bedding, Petite Point and other Textiles, Unopened/New in Original Packaging Kits ...oh, and and multipack (50pc and 100pc) surprise assortments!
Lucy’s had a love of Halloween, it wasn’t just a passing interest—it was part of who she was. Born on October 31st, she had a natural fascination with all things witchy, whimsical, and just a little mysterious, and that passion comes through in the incredible assortment of Halloween miniatures she collected and created. From artisan witch dolls and spooky scenes to themed furniture, accessories, and imaginative vignettes, she built an entire miniature world around it.
