”Small reproductions of household furnishings have long fascinated both collectors and the artist or craftsman who has, through the centuries, taken the time to produce a tiny sample of his work. Sometimes they were made out of scraps, just for fun, or for a child’s toy; often however, they were miniature works of art, and as such have been very valuable as collector’s items.” Profusely illustrated in black-and-white, this early out-of-print book provides a pictorial survey of antique miniature items including furniture, glass, pottery and porcelain, metal ware, and more.

ANTIQUES IN MINIATURE by Katharine Morrison McClinton, Charles Scribner’s Sons, N.Y., 1970.

This book “is concerned with what might be termed medium-sized miniatures, things too large for doll houses and not big enough to be children’s furniture, things that are suitably scaled for cabinet shelves or to be used by large dolls although they were not made as toys. Since these enchanting small replicas lend themselves to being adequately displayed in a relatively small space they are particularly desirably today…. [The author]… discusses miniature furniture; pottery and porcelain; glass; silver; pewter, copper, brass and tin. She includes a great many examples from private and public collections here and abroad, and suggests the possibilities of acquiring pieces as they come into the market.” Here is the definitive and indispensable guide to antique miniature replicas, a welcome addition to the reference shelves of the collector, curator or connoisseur of antique small collectibles.
