D. Thomas Miniatures is proud to be bringing the James Damiani Miniatures Collection to market to miniatures enthusiasts from all over the world with a late winter/early spring estate sale starting on Thursday, February 29 on eBay.
James Damiani, an artist and collector from New England is looking to downsize his collection and D. Thomas Miniatures is helping to find new homes for Mr. Damiani's tiny treasures. Darren Scala, owner of D. Thomas Fine Miniatures says, "I am thrilled to be hosting this estate sale filled with awesome miniatures and joining them with collectors everywhere who will love and appreciate these fine works."
The sale includes a dramatic Georgian style period roombox featuring polished hardwood floors, an ornate center fireplace, fabric wall covering, wainscot paneling, a 6-panel milled door with lavish plaster relief and a breathtaking multi-level coffered ceiling highlighted by a glass and crystal chandelier. The roombox is contained within a lacquered 2-door Asian-inspired painted cabinet with brass hardware.
The 1/12 scale Georgian roombox is replete with the highest quality miniatures available for sale and made by some of the finest craftspeople of the 20th century including furniture by Alan Barnes/Tarbena (desk, chair and bookcase), Mark Gooch (long credenza), and Michael Walton (hardwood book shelf with fretwork).
There are also many small scale accessories and decorative objects included in sale by artists and companies including Keith Bougourd/Small Time Miniatures (mantle clock), Stokesay Ware (porcelain), Jim Pounder (lighting), Pete Acquisto (Sterling Silver), Ed Chol (Vermeer) and Taller Targioni (sewing stand, bench, turned frame with petite point)

And finally, there are several hand-painted antique portraits of 18 and 19th century figures (some historically significant) including a French lady painted on ivory and framed in reticulated brass (signed, likely 1800s).
