One of my favourite houses (despite being a back-opener) Dating from the early 20's , it was said to be an "Exact reproduction of the Dolls house furnished by her Majesty the Queen and given to the London Hospital for sale in support of their funds"
Quite a small house, dimensions being 22 ins high, 25 ins wide and 14 ins deep.
This is one of my favourites too but I am not lucky enough to own one. It has such character. I love the old wallpapers and so many great minis inside. Especially love the four poster, the cat and that lovely settee in the bedroom. :-)
ReplyDeletethis is a great little house, what i wouldn't do for one of these!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you both for your comments, it is a house I have had for a vry long time.. which is why it is so full! smile.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tiny tudor house! :-) How lovely that the Queen donated one like it for the hospital auction.
ReplyDeleteWow very interesting? Every bit of furnishing is a marvel!! CM
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely house, and I love how you've furnished it! I've been browsing through Marion Osborne's A-Z 1914-1941, and noticed that a Mr Hurles made this house first in 1921, before Triang (presumably) bought the design. I wonder how you tell the difference?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I now remember reading that too some time ago. I am not sure how you tell the difference. Maybe Marion would know?
ReplyDeleteHave since found out a lot more from Marion and in fact this is a "Hurles" house!
