Description
44" x 30" x 16" (112 x 76 x 41 cm). Walnut dollhouse with natural finish has elaborate architectural style, hinged front that opens in the middle, floor-to-ceiling paned windows and an arched-top paneled door at the front decorated with bone carved knobs, rounded attic eaves, a large square clock tower with porcelain clock faces on three sides, and a tall watch tower. There are two floors, four interior rooms, floor-to-ceiling dormer windows, three fireplaces, center hallway on each floor with connecting staircase, and doors that open from one room to another, each with bone handles. The interior floors are unfinished wood, and the walls are papered, probably not original but of some age. The house is most unusual in design, very attractive with interesting rooms, and in desirable unrestored condition. English, 19th century.
