Vintage Artisan Miniature Dollhouse Micro Petit Point Pillow Sharon Garmize OOAK 

This is a masterpiece micro petit point lumbar-style oblong pillow. The front of the pillow features a repeating diamond-shaped pattern in hues of white, pale gold and shades of light and dark blue, with a complimentary border. An endless number of delicate stitches unite to create its elegant design. It is a captivating conversation starter, a tiny heirloom to be treasured.


This is a vintage, one-of-a-kind creation made by the talented IGMA Fellow, Sharon Garmize, who is renowned for her fine petit point needlework. She did all of her needlework on silk gauze, and this pillow has a beautiful silk back in a coordinating black color as a sumptuous detail. This one is not signed but Sharon made all 75 pillows in this collection for the former owners. Picture this pillow on an armchair, sofa or bed as an inviting touch.  This is very rare to find...once in a great while you can find a 'pillow kit' that she used to sell, but one made by her and nonetheless a commissioned piece is extremely rare. Sharon created over 40 pillows for the former owner over a 10 year period.


 By the way, did you know that micro petit point uses 3,000 stitches square per inch?

This miniature came from a wonderful lifetime, STUNNING miniature collection, all collected by Mesha and Clifford of New York. This amazing collection of treasured pieces will take some time to list, but they are worth the wait.  The 1980s through the 1990s were one of the most interesting time periods in the miniature market, so many artists making their debut...this collection was curated during this time by going to shows, writing the artists and boarding planes to retrieve their long awaited treasures.  To have the opportunity to share this one of a kind collection is something miniature dreams are made of (for me)...rarely do I keep more than one item from each collection, but this one is the hardest of all to let even a single piece go, you will see what I mean shortly...enjoy them all as they are all one of a kind and made by some of the most wonderful miniature artisans in the world.
