About The Artist

Hello, Welcome to Robins Miniature furniture. All the furniture here is created by me Robin Thompson. I am a Chicago area artist. I have a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My works are in Corporate as well as private collections. I worked extensively in Enameling making jewelry to small sculptures. I always had a love of Miniatures  any thing small was fascinating to me.

I also had a love of Antiques and for a time was a  successful Antique Dealer and restorer. It was the restoration work I did on furniture where I  learned the bones of furniture construction. So I began making miniature period furniture. It happened one of my chairs was purchased by two prominent doll makers, of reproduction 18th century English Wooden dolls. They explained that miniature chairs built to scale would be an area of need to antique doll collectors, who had limited ways of displaying their beautiful dolls. 

So blossomed Robins miniature furniture, where not only are my chairs collected by miniature collectors but the Antique Doll collector as well.

I now make custom sized period furniture for doll collectors who want the perfect chair or settee or even a grouping of furniture for there treasured Antique Dolls. Collectors can chose from the available style seen on my site.

Because dolls come in all sizes furniture can be ordered in what ever scale would fit them. This makes my furniture unique.

Well I couldn’t stop there, I also make period doll rooms. if you have ever seem the wonders of the Thorne Rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago which set the standard for what is known as 12th scale. You will understand where I take my inspiration from. Because of shipping constraints these rooms come in limited sizes.

I couldn’t stop there I also make dolls, So as you visit my site you can see examples of my furniture, as well as my dolls and the doll rooms.

In addition to the dolls and furniture and rooms I have accessories such as mirrors and candel sconces and other objects to accent the rooms I create.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you enjoyed your stay.
