A richly illustrated exploration of an exciting world of miniature possibilities.
Inspirational and informative, this book ranges from rare collectors' pieces to painstaking modern recreations of the past, showing dolls' houses representing every style and period complete with authentic interior details and furnishings, from attic to basement.
Dolls' houses and their furniture are an international collecting obsession and there is an ever increasing demand for precise detail. Period houses must be correct down to the last piece of furniture and china; newer houses must reflect the best of techniques, from paint work to carpentry. This demand has fuelled the ever-expanding literature on this subject - one that has become a branch of the entire social history of both domestic decoration and arts and crafts.
'The Dolls' House Sourcebook' is not only an essential reference for the doll's house devotee, but also a fascinating treasure trove of miniature interiors, furnishing sand objects that will appeal to every lover of interior decoration and the decorative arts.
