This beautiful doll's house measures 38" wide and 38" from the bottom to the top of the chimneys. I believe it was made in the mid 19th century. The exterior is hand painted. I have decided to sell this house. Please contact me at susansminihomes@gmail.com to inquire about purchasing this house. |

A previous owner updated the interior at some point. The wallpaper looks like the type used in the 1970s. Three of the rooms have built in fireplaces. |
|
The portico is beautifully done, but has accumulated a few scrapes and dings over the years. I am sure it could be easily restored. |
|
The double chimneys are representative of the mid-19th century. |
|
The lovely entry way and staircase are also representative of doll's houses of that era. |
|
This the landing at the top of the stairs. |
|
A previous owner wired the house with miniature lights and sockets. The wiring is no longer intact, so I can't test it. I have furnished it with some antique doll's house furniture. |
|
This room has a light socket and small bulb where the cook stove would be. |
|
This antique bedroom set appears to be handmade. It is really sweet. |
|
The living room has wainscotting and a patterned fabric representing wall paper. I believe the previous owner added these. The original fireplace is marbled. |
Here are an example of mid-19th century English doll's houses that is very similar to mine. It is listed as - A mid-19th English Toyman's wooden dolls' house
What a sweet old dollhouse! It is just like ones I always wished I had.... that you would see in books. I am sure I live too far away... and have no room in my home... but if it is not too expensive... I dream on..... !
ReplyDeleteThank you. I understand the dilemma of adding more dollhouses to one's collection. that's why I am downsizing my collection. Where are you located?
ReplyDeleteI love all of the woodwork on this house!
