# Pair of Vintage Gault France Miniatures - "Chapelier" & "Notaire"
## Ultra-Rare Set of Two Parisian Buildings with 2 Original signed Paper Certificates of Authenticity!
For your consideration is an elite, investment-grade collector's lot from the legendary Gault France Paris Series. This curated set includes two highly detailed, early handmade clay storefronts complete with their **two original matching Certificates of Authenticity (COA No. 26187 and No. 26192)** from the *Galerie Architecture Miniature Gault*.
### The Pieces Included:
1. **"Chapelier" (Hat Maker / Milliner):** A spectacular corner-angled structure featuring an exceptionally rare architectural rounded dome roof (Toit en Dôme). The front boutique window features exquisite hand-painted details showcasing miniature hats on display stands. Signed base #12.
2. **"Notaire" (Notary Public Office):** A stately, narrow building featuring a sophisticated concave-curved front facade, intricate window flower boxes, and a beautifully textured side wall accented with a sweeping architectural exterior chimney pipe flue. Signed base #07.
### Item Details & Condition:
* **Provenance:** Both pieces retain their official hand-incised "Gault" markings on the clay walls and base molds. The inclusion of the original paper certificates makes this one of the most historically secure, premium Gault lots available online.
* **Condition:** Excellent vintage condition overall. The intricate window boxes, towering main chimneys, texturing, and interior arch trim are beautifully preserved. The Chapelier shows a tiny cosmetic paint flake on the front right roof trim and minor edge rubbing on the lower right base corner (clearly pictured), which is entirely normal for genuine early clay miniatures. No structural cracks or repairs.
### Shipping & Handling:
Due to the tall, slender profile on this specific model, it requires careful packaging. This item will be heavily wrapped in multi-layered bubble wrap and securely packaged. I will take extra care in handling this high-end miniature to ensure it arrives at your door in its pristine, pictured state.
*Ships globally from a smoke-free, climate-controlled archival environment. Please inspect all high-resolution photos closely and feel free to reach out with any questions!*
