About
From their early days as educational aids and indicators of status over 300 years ago, European ‘Baby Houses’ have held a special fascination. With furnishings created by master guildsmen recording domestic life that has long gone they are an historic record, often with extraordinary exactness, and laced with special charm. Now at a standard 1/12 scale, Dolls Houses have become playthings and collectables. They allow glimpses of history and bygone everyday activities in enchanting and precise detail. Marvel at the craftsmanship, interiors, furnishings, and forget the size as you are captivated and informed.
