An Introduction to 12th Scale...

12th scale is the industry standard for dolls house collectors and miniaturists.  It is based on imperial measurements where 1 inch('') is equal to 1 foot(ft).  To give an example of this a door which measures 6ft 6'' in real life would measure 6 1/2'' in 12th scale.  For many years now collectors from all over the world have chosen this scale for the amount of detail that can be achieved by the miniature maker.

Pinchbeck Miniatures have a full range of items to satisfy the most avid collector.  The products in our range are available from various periods in time, possibly the most popular being the Victorian period.  However, more and more people have started to collect and create miniatures from the post war era.

The best way for you to appreciate the quality and finish of our miniatures is for you to come along and see us at one of the many fairs we attend throughout the year.  We do, however, have some items that can be purchased by mail order.  Please see our 'Buying Online' page for more details.
