Centuries Miniatures

Centuries Miniatures were produced by the Franklin Mint in 1985. Each miniature stands apx. 54 mm tall but is much "thinner" than typical 54mm miniatures. For example, their heads are about 30% smaller than average miniatures of this size....More

There is one other miniature in this series but I was outbid for it up on Ebay so will have to wait for another vendor to sell them individually. Since they are porcelain, it is also difficult to find them undamaged as well. They were originally sold by monthly subscription for $15 each and the collection included a bell jar for display. I was fortunate enough to purchase ten of these miniatures as a group for only $5 each. Lady Eleanor in the green dress was purchased separately for $7.95. Franklin Mint also produced some lovely Victorian Miniatures.
