Miniatures, 4 to 8 inch, Under ₹1,000
About this collection
Miniatures from four to eight inch in the lower band are the bigger end of the miniature range, big enough to stand as a display item. Buckets, kitchen sets, vehicles and small household pieces are the common subjects, and they suit a shelf, a desk or a gift for a child or a collector.
Brass at this size is solid enough to hold its shape, but thin parts can bend. Handle the piece by its base, dust it with a soft brush, and check any moving part before displaying it so nothing is loose. Store them in a closed case when they are not on show, to keep dust off the detail.
