UKAA have for sale a good selection of original Victorian miniature salesmen samples such as cast iron fireplaces, baths, toilets, sinks, clay pipes, benches and travelling fonts. These can be viewed at our reclamation yard in Staffordshire. Miniature collectibles is a complex and diverse subject as there are such considerable differences in what someone believes falls into the true miniature collectible category.
During the mid-19th Century detailed miniatures were created by factories to assist the travelling salesmen.
Everything from hand-crafted furniture, cast iron cook stoves, china & glass, the ice-box, even cars and farm implements were used in the advertising and selling of wares worldwide.
As time progressed and salesmen samples were no longer required, more modern Miniatures came to be known as those small-scale creations by factories to give evidence of the fine craftsmanship both as a useful doll-house item or toys for children, but also representing the times of old in a vintage or antique model. They are now highly collected and are such wonderful items to have, the beauty of them is that they are so small they can be easily displayed making them the perfect collectable. Miniature fireplaces are a real favourite of ours as are miniature garden benches.
