Conley Improved Camera ~ Nantasy Fantasy

When I bought this camera, I was not sure of the artist. Today I was able to reach Nancy Leidereiter Quinby of Nantasy Fantasy and she confirmed this is their Conley Improved Camera. I found the tiny "Nf" mark on the tripod leg. I am so thrilled to have their original piece in my collection!

Jill Marquis Miniature Art Supplies

When I bought these sets on eBay, the seller didn't mention the artist. Once I got them I noticed the signature, and internet sleuthing led me to Marquis Miniatures. I think I need to make an artist's studio now.

 

Camille Allen Baby Doll & Nursery

Found this beautiful cherry wood nursery set.  According to the seller, the set was originally made in England and curated from a collection from the Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures in Tucson, Arizona. It is perfect for the Camille Allen baby doll I got at the Texas Miniature Showcase last week.

Mother-of-pearl Tilt-top Table & Bespaq Italian Grotto Chairs

After years of searching, I found the discontinued shell shaped chairs by Bespaq. The tilt-top mother-of-pearl inlaid table is by an unknown artist, but I assume it is from Mexico since it is in the same style as my Mexican musical instruments. I keep them as a set since their walnut finish matches so perfectly, and mother-of-pearl is perfect with shells, no? 😁

Taller Targioni Gramophone

Finally my search is over for a Taller Targioni gramophone. I saw one at the Dallas Miniature Showcase two years ago, and forever regretted not buying it at the time. Finally found this gem on Facebook.
