Handmade Wool Felt Plague Doctor with Hat, Trench Coat, Potion Bottle and Cane – Retro Gothic Desktop Ornament

Not all figurines come with a display base. A small wooden base and metal support pin are provided only for figurines that need extra support to stand securely. If your figurine includes a base, follow the illustrated guide below to assemble it. Gently insert the support pin into the hole in the wooden base, then carefully place your figurine onto the pin. Avoid using excessive force during assembly.

We believe in complete transparency. If you're curious about the true craft behind our work, search for "VantoArk" on Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest — there we share needle-felting techniques, helpful tips, and behind-the-scenes progress. You'll also find unedited phone photos of our finished pieces, along with real customer unboxing pictures, so you can see exactly how our art looks in everyday lighting — no studio tricks, no professional filters, just the honest reality behind the work (unlike what many scammers try to hide).

Unlike mass-produced items sitting on a warehouse shelf, every VantoArk companion is individually handcrafted once an order is placed. Needle felting is a slow, thoughtful craft that takes thousands of precise stabs to shape a durable and expressive sculpture. We believe meaningful art shouldn't be hurried. This unhurried, handmade process makes each piece a unique treasure to pass down, not a fleeting plaything.

We want you to love your VantoArk piece. If your package arrives damaged, defective, wrong, missing items, or not as described, please reach out to us within 14 days of delivery.

To help us resolve things quickly, kindly provide:
• Your order number
• A brief explanation of the issue
• Clear photos of the item
• Photos of the outer packaging and shipping label (if applicable)

Depending on the situation, we will make it right through a repair, remake, replacement, or a partial/full refund. If we need you to send back a confirmed defective or incorrect item, VantoArk will fully cover the return shipping costs.

Because every VantoArk creation is individually handcrafted, subtle variations are an inherent part of the artistic process.

From a technical standpoint, each piece is shaped through freehand needle felting rather than standardized industrial molding. Consequently, minor differences in facial expression, proportions, wool density, color transitions, and fine detail placement naturally occur.

These subtle nuances are not defects or quality inconsistencies; rather, they reflect the authentic touch of artisan craftsmanship and ensure that every creation possesses its own unique character while faithfully preserving the core design, dimensions, and overall aesthetic of the original description.

Of course! Personalization is at the core of my work. Whether you want a specific shade for a scarf or a meaningful flower like our "Poppy" memorial mice, I truly enjoy hearing your stories. Just write your requests in the "Note to Seller" section when you check out. I'll do my best to turn your ideas into reality.

Yes, I'd love to help bring your unique idea to life. Please email me with a clear description of what you're imagining. Including reference images—such as movie characters, book illustrations, or real-life photos—is very helpful. Also let me know the size you want. Once I receive these details, I will send you a design sketch and a timeline. After we agree on the price, I will begin working on your custom piece.
