Vintage Artisan Miniature Dollhouse SPAIN Aida Pravia Baroque Etagere with Tea Set
Hand Crafted in Spain

  This is an incredibly detailed, vintage, artisan hand-painted wood etagere cabinet. It is a one-of-a-kind creation made by the talented Spanish miniaturist, Aida Pravia. Ms. Pravina is renowned for her exquisite hand painted Baroque furnishings, which she painted with arabesque motifs with the highest level of detail using oil paints. This cabinet is a beautiful example of her craftsmanship. It features gold gilt, scrolled trim and a pale pink, hand distressed body. The upper half of the cabinet consists of two open shelves dressed with an exquisite porcelain tea set. The tea set and tea pot are all fixed in place, and have been embellished with sculpted roses and leaves, which have been hand painted as well. 

The sides of the cabinet and both sides of the lower cabinet door have been painted with gorgeous floral urn motifs with decorative flourished gold borders. The front of the cabinet door boasts a three-dimensional hand sculpted pink rose garland, and inside, the cabinet has a mirrored back with three interior shelves waiting to filled with your treasures. This amazing piece will come to you in its custom, silk-lined storage box. This is an heirloom piece, for certain. The back of the cabinet has been finished with a rose floral trellis patterned paper with intentional aging around the corners and a gold artist's signature completes the piece.

This fabulous miniature doll belonged to, Madame 'Y', who lives in Kanagawa, Japan.  For many years I have enjoyed a friendship with Madam Y.  Her love of miniatures and her vast knowledge of artisans was something that we enjoyed talking about.  Over the years I watched in awe as her collection continuously grew, she even had to expand her beautiful home on the sea just to house her collection of some of the finest miniatures in the world.  When she decided to sell her collection, she contacted me so that I could tell her story and the story of each piece she has acquired, over all these years.  Her hope is to find a home and share the story of every single piece.  We have just begun to receive the boxes, all wrapped so well as they were all very special to her.  She wanted others to know these incredible artisans, many she has met in person, from countries all over the globe and it is her hope that you will get to know them too, as we list them one by one.  We thank Madame Y for trusting us, it is an honor to share them with others who love artisan miniatures as much as we do.
