Porcelain Dresser Scene

A 1915 music box lid from a bankrupt Parisian toy shop.

The dresser's body and mirror were once part of a _Lady's Boudoir Dressing Table_ from a late 19th-century townhouse in Edinburgh, circa 1885. Tatjana Kreiner has meticulously restored the original porcelain handles and hardware, while reimagining the piece as a miniature, 1:12 scale diorama, complete with a hand-painted, weathered blue chair. The dresser's surface now bears the subtle scars of its past life, its intricate carvings and mirror beveling still radiant despite the patina of age.

Porcelain diorama featuring a white dresser with a mirror and a blue chair, set in a Victorian-style parlor scene.
