On a recent trip to France I came across this dolls house stable building. Of course I had to bring it home as I fell in love with its very shabby charm.
A close up of the doors which don't quite meet in the middle, I suspect they are not a pair, and I am missing their matching other halves. There are signs that there would have been doors in the left side of the building.
Upstairs there are 2 rooms, the one on the left has this great wallpaper, the other one has plain wooden walls.
There are several types of brick and roof paper on the building, some of which I have seen before on commercially made dolls houses. My eagle-eyed son spotted a number on the paler paper (which has been covered up) the number is 5876. I wonder if this is significant?
This is a close up of the right hand upper window. This may have been a loading window to the hay loft? there was a metal pulley lying on the floor in the stable, but I haven't worked out where it belongs yet. Any information or clues as to the origin or maker would be much appreciated. Many Thanks!

Hi Lizzie,
ReplyDeletevery nice little farm. I have no idea of the maker, and I would say, it could be home made.
There was probably no window, and I think, your pulley was fixed on the red wall (there are two little holes there). My oncle had a farm, and the straw was stored upstairs, and the pulley was to bring it up (child memories)
I'll be happy to follow your renavation
This is a gorgeous house.
ReplyDeleteHi Beafordolls, thank you for your input. I will got & check whether the pulley fits in those holes. Best wishes.
