Description
22" (56 cm.) l. x 25"h. x 16"d. The wooden two-story dollhouse with original yellow painted finish with brown painted window frames and timbers has a door-less front facade,with elaborate arrangement of five windows on the lower floor in an out-jutting square bay with roof line to match the overall roof line; and a row of three windows on the second floor with cardboard window boxes,and then three smaller windows in the attic section. Each window has upper cardboard panes. A porch with slanted roof and cardboard railing is at the side of the house,and protects the green painted doorway. There are three more open windows at the sides with cardboard panes and the servant's room in the attic is accessed by tiny hinged doors at the back. The entire front hinges open to reveal four interior rooms and an intricately-constructed stairway with railing. A toilet closet is tucked under the stairway. The interior wall and floor papers are entirely original and well-preserved,as are the original curtains. Excellent condition. Germany,Moritz Gottschalk,circa 1910.
