The Genesis of Our Alice in Wonderland Collection
The Genesis of Our Alice in Wonderland Figurine Collection: Our Alice in Wonderland figurine collection was born from a passion for Lewis Carroll's masterpiece and the Figurart workshop's commitment to preserving traditional French craftsmanship. From John Tenniel's original illustrations of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, to mastering pewter casting and miniature painting techniques, Helen began creating her first Alice in Wonderland collectible figurine in 2022. Each Alice in Wonderland figurine in our collection represents months of research and artistic development. Every detail of Lewis Carroll's characters, from Alice's astonished expression and iconic blue dress to the Queen of Hearts' tyrannical posture and geometric striped costume, is carefully considered. This meticulous approach ensures that each figurine captures the essence of Wonderland's magic while maintaining the highest standards of French craftsmanship. The inspiration for our Alice in Wonderland collectible figurines comes not only from Carroll's literary genius but also from the rich tradition of French decorative arts. Figurart combines imagination with centuries-old pewter-working techniques, creating Wonderland figurines that are both faithful to the original story and of exceptional artistic quality.
The Art of Creating Wonderland Figurines
Creating each figurine in the Alice in Wonderland collection is a meticulous process that Figurart has perfected over the years. Our collectible figurines begin as raw tin alloy, carefully selected for its superior quality and ability to capture fine details. The tin is melted at a precise temperature and poured into custom molds created specifically for each Lewis Carroll character in our Alice in Wonderland collection. The hand-painting process is where each figurine and character truly comes to life under the expert brush of Helen Bourch. Multiple layers of paint are applied with precision to ensure that Alice's blue dress retains its vibrant color through years of display, that the Queen of Hearts' stripes remain perfectly aligned and geometrically accurate, and that the Mad Hatter's eccentric costume captures all its whimsical detail and colorful complexity. Every Alice in Wonderland collectible figurine undergoes rigorous quality control before reaching our collectors. Helen personally examines each figurine to ensure the accuracy of detail and overall artistic integrity. This attention to detail and commitment to excellence is what makes our handcrafted French Alice figurines sought after by collectors worldwide who appreciate authentic memorabilia from the world of Lewis Carroll.

The Legacy of Lewis Carroll and John Tenniel in our Alice Figurines
From Carroll's Imagination to Tenniel's Illustrations
Charles Dodgson, known as Lewis Carroll, created the timeless world of Alice in Wonderland in 1865, which today inspires our collectible figurines. The British author, a mathematician and photographer by training, possessed a keen eye for detail that shines through in his meticulous descriptions of the characters. It was thanks to his collaboration with illustrator John Tenniel that these characters took on their iconic visual form, the very same one we perpetuate in our handcrafted Alice figurines.
John Tenniel: The Visionary of Alice in Wonderland Figurines
John Tenniel, Punch's official illustrator and acclaimed artist, brought Carroll's characters to life through his remarkably precise woodcuts. His illustrations of Alice in her blue dress, the Queen of Hearts with her perfectly geometric stripes, the White Rabbit with his pocket watch, and the Mad Hatter in his eccentric costume have become universal visual references. Our Alice in Wonderland figurines are directly inspired by these illustrations by Tenniel, transforming his pencil strokes into hand-painted pewter sculptures.
From Tenniel to Figurart: An Artistic Continuity
John Tenniel's artistry lay in his ability to capture the essence of each of Carroll's characters in just a few precise strokes. This same philosophy guides our craftsmanship: every Alice figurine in our collection meticulously respects the proportions and details envisioned by Carroll and visualized by Tenniel. Alice's blue dress, the Queen of Hearts' stripes, the Mad Hatter's expression—all these iconic elements take on a new dimension in our collectible figurines, blending the British heritage of Carroll and Tenniel with French pewter craftsmanship.
French Excellence at the Service of the British Imagination
More than 150 years after their creation, Lewis Carroll's characters and John Tenniel's illustrations continue to fascinate collectors worldwide. Our Alice in Wonderland figurines perpetuate this magic by transforming Tenniel's graphic art into three-dimensional sculptures. Each figurine in our collection honors Carroll's boundless imagination, Tenniel's artistic precision, and the excellence of traditional French craftsmanship.
By choosing our Alice figurines, you acquire a fragment of this exceptional cultural heritage, where British literature, the art of Victorian illustration, and the centuries-old know-how of French artisans meet.
