Description
This home was crafted from plans in Hobbies magazine of Dereham, England, ca. 1926. The first floor exterior is faux painted brick with Tudor styled stucco & timber on the second. Four 2" deep bay windows grace the front while 2 opening panels in the rear give access to 4 room interior with hall spaces. This house is offered as furnished by Mrs. Jacobs with most pieces being of the proper period. Some of which include several Triang pieces, Arts & crafts styled celluloid pieces, painted tin and soft metal furnishings and a few German accessories. Several articulated painted bisque dolls give the house a tone of vitality. This house is pictured on pages 206-208 of Antique Dolls' Houses, Flora Gill Jacobs © 2005 where Mrs. Jacobs discusses this house and the variations on these types of home crafted houses.
