Item Description
This extraordinarily well-kept Victorian dollhouse has all the appeal of a real building at a smaller scale. Boasting four stories and twenty-two rooms complete with light fixtures, tiny paintings, ceiling medallions, and stained glass windows, this exquisite piece is a show-stopping example of the architectural miniature specialist and manufacturer, Lawbre Company’s work.
This dollhouse was manufactured around 1986. It is partially-furnished with plenty of room to grow your own collection of miniature furniture!
Pieces included are made by Jane Winston Kilkenny, Phyllis Tucker, Karen Markland, T.G. Wilson, April Whitcomb, Valerie May Peers, Robert Olszewski, and 21 Bespaq pieces.
The dollhouse was never used as a toy, rather it was commissioned by a woman to commemorate her mother. Thus is in very good overall condition for its size and age.
Has a dedication plaque: “WINDY BROW - COURTLAND HOUSE, IN LOVING MEMORY OF MOTHER JANE HEFFELFINGER WINSTON.”
Size: 63"H x 54"W x 33"D
Purportedly purchased for $6,000
Includes plans and a diary including history and contents of the miniature mansion.
The white painted display base it not part of the lot and belongs to the museum for display purposes only.
See photos for additional details.
