All rooms are furnished in classical Victorian style with unique themes for each room
along the lines of Noll & Pat Thomas' interiors, which have sold since the '70's for - K.
The artist made or purchased the hundreds of miniatures over about 40 years at a estimated cost of K. Typical of a
miniature purchased is the carousel in photo 8, of a hand made miniature, the needle point carpet in photo 10. 90% miniature items were purchases from craftsmen around the world.
Thematic settings are the hallmark of this creation, room -by-room - 25 individual settings. Typical is the gentleman's library (right half - lower level - fourth photo). A privacy room is reached behind a secret movable fireplace (shown opened) in the library with the gentleman standing to the right, in the privacy room. The fireplace wall closes to hide the entrance to the privacy room.
This museum quality Doll House is being offered by the artist, the only person who has had it in her continuous possession and who is now content to part with it to a 'good home' where it will be appreciated and cared for, in a similar manner.
Feel free to request additional details, dimensions, or photos. Pages of picture book are shown (last two photos) of every room in detail, plus the exterior which is included.
