Lot 50
American Victorian Dollhouse, Circa 1880
American-made dollhouse in the Gothic Revival style dating from 1875-1880. The house is 41 inches tall (including chimneys), 27 inches wide and 22 1/2 inches deep (including roof). Each level of the two story dollhouse contains two identically sized rooms separated by a center hallway. Glazed windows on either side of the dollhouse under the steeply pitched roof give the impression of a third story but there is no access to this illusionary attic. The roof rests upon decorative brackets. The facade, which simulates brownstone, has some scraps and scratches as would be expected for a house of this age. There are glazed windows on all four sides and there is both a front and rear doorway. The structure has two horizontal wood cracks across the back and one vertical crack in the front facade. However, these signs of age have not undermined the structural integrity of the dollhouse. The interior walls and ceilings retain their original wallpapers throughout. The ceiling papers are in generally good condition but the wall papers are heavily stained around the windows and there are tears, paper loss and bubbling, to some degree, in each room. Restoration and repair of the dollhouse was kept to a minimum. Missing glass and mullions were replaced. A duplicate for the missing akroterium on the roof was made from the remaining original. The dollhouse is discretely electrified. Protective plexiglass covers were created for the doorways and one unglazed window to keep out dust and the owner's overly inquisitive cat.
CONDITION: Good
Estimate: $800 - $1,400 |
