This is one of my newest purchases and was bought from a private collection of Lines & Tri-ang toys which was being sold off at auction. It is a G & J Lines number 35 dolls house and dates to around 1925 (which I class as antique). This house is 1/16th scale and is in lovely condition with all the original glass windows but the inside has been re-papered.
All the furniture and dolls are German and date to around 1900 and were also bought at the same auction as the dolls house. I have turned this house into a girls orphanage, the older girls take it in turns to look after the babies.
This is upstairs on the left, the crib is made of metal.
These beds are Schneegas.
This is a hand painted picture by Andrew Nicholls in the 1980s or 90s.
These tiny girl dolls with bows are only 1.5" tall, they are having a tea party.
The picture above the fireplace was made by a friend. This doll is comforting the baby who is wide awake.
This is the right hand side of the bedroom, the mirror & wash jug & bowl are modern dolls house pieces.
These little beds are by Gottschalk.
The dolls house is actually a tiny vintage jewellery box.
This is downstairs left, again all the furniture is German and dates to around the 1900s.
These girls are having a break before it is their turn to look after the babies, the tea set is modern.
This picture is also painted by Andrew Nicholls.
This is the right hand side, again all German furniture from around 1900. The painting about the sofa is also by Andrew Nicholls.
