This handsome English box-back dollhouse has all of the Silber & Fleming characteristics that we have grown to love, but this example – larger than most models – was fitted with a stairhall, which retains the original staircase.
First, note the perfect symmetry, which one will find on most examples from this prolific London wholesaler. Then there is the lovely brick paintwork, with the traditional cream-painted "stone" on the ground floor. The two-tone front door, whose paint echoes the second floor balustrade, is operational and retains its original brass door knocker.
Open the hinged front, with its generous use of large windows including a fanlight over the front door, and there you will discover the stairhall and lovely staircase– note the wonderful wool carpet which winds its way up to the second floor.
In addition, you will delight in three perfectly proportioned, beautifully papered rooms, all with fireplaces and chimneys dividing the back wall, plus the marvelous kitchen which retains its original floor paint, wooden dresser, range, sink, water reservoir and towel rack.
These elegant Silber & Fleming dollhouses are easy and fun to decorate and you will have your chance with this one, as we are offering it in move-in condition.
The house has been electrified, the windows have been cleaned, the lace curtains refreshed and the mantel pieces draped....you'll enjoy making this one your "home sweet home". |
