Item Details
Offereing a RARE and highly collectible 5-piece artisan dollhouse miniature grouping by the acclaimed New England miniaturist Rhonda Lesperance with the original TAG.. Operating out of her historic studio, "The Brickyard" in Newcastle, Maine, Lesperance was celebrated during the 1970-80's for her authentic bench-crafted interpretations of Early American country furniture.
This extremely rare ensemble features a beautifully proportioned 6-drawer tall chest and a matching set of four multi-spindle country side chairs. True to her signature techniques, each piece is individually hand-cut from native Linden wood, assembled, stained in a warm amber tone, and finished with a meticulous multi-step process. The wood has been hand-rubbed and hot-waxed to replicate the authentic, soft satin patina of 18th-century primitive antiques. Each piece is stamped on the bottom.
One of the chairs retains its original, two-sided brick-patterned paper studio hangtag tied with its original cord, providing pristine, documented provenance.
This set is offered in lovely, honest condition with the following specific notes:
• Chairs: Three (3) of the spindle-back chairs are in flawless, pristine condition with rock-solid joints and gorgeous original finish. One (1) chair is missing its front-right leg; however, it balances perfectly on its remaining legs to stand upright on display, or it can serve as a seamless restoration project.
• Chest: The wood structure, drawer glides, and finish are in excellent condition. The chest features its original micro-brass turned drawer pulls. Five (5) of the six (6) original knobs are fully intact; only one (1) tiny brass knob is missing from the third drawer down. This could easily be replaced.
A fantastic opportunity to acquire a scarce, tagged grouping by a highly regarded American miniature artist.
For someone to love as is or to easily refurbish the chair leg and brass knob.
