“Newport Mansion” - 1:24 (1/2”) scale

Newport Mansion is an exceptional example of fine-scale miniature craftsmanship from the Evelyn Gilbert Collection. Created in 1:24 scale, this meticulously appointed parlor evokes the elegance of a distinguished Victorian Newport residence. From its architectural details and period furnishings to its atmospheric lighting and carefully composed interiors, the room reflects an extraordinary level of artistry and attention to historical character.

The miniature structurewas designed by renowned miniature artisan Bluette Meloney and subsequently completed and decorated by Evelyn Gilbert, whose discerning eye and meticulous craftsmanship brought the interior to its finished form. Together, these contributions give Newport Mansion a distinctive artistic provenance and place it within the tradition of fine miniature art as a form of historical and decorative craftsmanship.

More than a miniature room, Newport Mansion is a carefully preserved work of art in miniature—an intimate study of architecture, interior design, material, and storytelling. Its scale and intricacy reward close observation, revealing details that are best appreciated slowly, much as one would experience a finely crafted museum object.
