Silber & Fleming Townhouse – Circa 1880 An Elegant Four-room Model, complete with a Stairhall

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".

Due to a vague similarity, it is possible this carpenter-made American Dollhouse took its design cues from a Moritz Gottschalk red roof house. Dating circa 1915-25, we feel its charm lies in its simplicity.
Featuring a two-door opening on the back, exterior details include warm, mellow, brown mustard paint, with cream trim. Numerous large windows allow a clear view into the house – including a bay window on the second floor. A wonderful pair of entry doors in natural wood allow access to the parlor from the front porch with its handsome turned columns.
Featuring two rooms, a parlor below and a bedroom above – both are large and allow multi-use. Both rooms feature very sweet vintage floral wallpaper, while deep red silk velvet acts as carpeting. Lovely lace curtains accent each window, even the attic dormer, which is actually not accessible.
This wonderful dollhouse is electrified and ready for decorating....a labor of love, we say.

From the Collection of Barbra Streisand.

The 1911 House

The 1911 House can be described as eleven rooms of potential fun. Actually, more fun should be factored in, because the above-mentioned eleven rooms don't include the three-story stair hall, the second and third-floor hallways or the Stable Yard with a watering trough and plenty of room for a horse or two. Also located there is a privy for the Yardman.
This incredible Dollhouse was constructed of pine, most likely commercially, and probably in Spain. We surmise it was completed in the year 1911, due to the date proudly displayed on the house's cornice.
The house's original papers were in disrepair when we obtained it from a private European museum. Fortunately, we found vintage wall papers among the cache' of supplies that we obtained from John Darcy Noble's personal collection and many examples were utilized within these walls. The colors and variety of the patterns create a magical interior that will blend with vintage furnishings beautifully. The house's paint scheme is just the way we found it.
We did fully re-electrify the house, including the hallways, as the old system was outdated and the wrong voltage. The lights emit a wonderful glow, especially through the pattern-glass window in the bath.
The charm of this house is undeniable and it's now ready to provide many more years of collecting joy.
