Could anything be more appropriate for a doll collector than a miniature Toy Shop brimming with treasure? This charming wooden store, of German manufacture circa 1890-1910, features a warm creamy paint hue with blue pin-striping.
The cubbies and cabinets feature an assortment of toys and dolls in wood, soft metal, papier-mache and porcelain. Especially wonderful is the selection of tiny jointed dolls in knitted costumes from Carl Horn.
All that might be missing in this fabulous establishment is some dolly customers, and perhaps, a proprietor!

Measures: 9-1/2" tall x 8-1/4" deep x 21-3/4" wide

Thank you, A.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


The Long House
A Silber & Fleming Mansion
From The Collection of Barbra Streisand

Some of you may know that fellow antique doll and dollhouse collector, Barbra Streisand, recently finished the constuction of a new home. Well, when the dust settled and collections were installed, it soon became apparent, as it does with many of us, there were more things than room available. Reluctantly, Barbra asked us to find new homes for a few of her cherished dollhouses.
We are honored to offer a spectacular Silber & Fleming Mansion here, in a very manageable size. Details of this extremely unusual eight-room house include expectionally fine paint decoration to the exterior – simulating both red and yellow brick, along with simulated stone on the ground floor. The elegant, grey-painted roof represents slates, there are four handsome chimney stacks, a grain-painted front door with brass knocker, and the many glass windows with divided lights are large and allow full view into the rooms.
The house opens with three hinged doors, revealing eight rooms, each fitted with a fireplace that features an elegant Evans and Cartwright stamped tin insert. Each room also features lovely wallpapers (some appear original), and needlework carpets on the floors, save for the kitchen, as it retains its original painted tile floor. The kitchen also boasts its original dresser, sink, water reservoir and warming oven.
Each room is beautifully furnished as you will see below, but highlights include a fantastic assortment of painted soft metal furniture and accessories, plus lovely Biedermeier pieces, along with ivory, and ormolu accessories.
Please study each room carefully – there is certainly room available for your own personal additions, and a family of special dollhouse dolls will be required.
You're bound to fall in love – we all do – and you're allowed – remember, this is a very special circumstance.

What a charming boy's toy! Well, you girls will love this, too! A French Stable, circa 1910 – if a stable could ever be considered pretty – this is the one. Of painted wood with stained gingerbread trim, details include two horse stalls and a space for the cart below, with a charming hay storage area and a small living quarters for the stablehand above.
Animals include two fantastic hide-covered horses, one with a harness (losses) and the other fitted with a leather saddle, plus three feathered chickens.
Accessories include a handsome two-wheeled cart, a ladder, two buckets, a barrel, a rake and shovel, bales of hay and a table and two chairs in the stablehand's quarters.
Purely delightful and in exceptional condition overall.
