Undeniably, the most sophisticated piece of miniature furniture we have ever offered, is this magnificent model of an English Mechanical Bookcase. Most likely an apprentice piece, this fine book cabinet is of beautiful grained oak, it retains the original finish, and it remains fitted with the original hand-rolled glass in its four doors. The piece is very intricately engineered to offer the maximum amount of book storage in a fairly small amount of space. Incidentally, a friend, who was quite intrigued with this amazing piece, estimated that it easily holds over 700 miniature volumes.
When the brass catches are released, and the doors on the far right and left are opened, each offers a view of an inset, flush mounted lever, that when activated, allows the outer shelves of books to pivot forward and outward, revealing two more shelves of leather and paper bound "books" behind them.
The center doors open to reveal two full length, four-sided shelving units that revolve easily with a touch of a finger.
The condition of this mechanical masterpiece is excellent, and where dolls are concerned, it is worthy of your finest vignettes.

Measures: 19 1/4" wide x 5 1/2" deep x 15 1/2" tall

The Fifth Avenue Dress Shop for Little Dolls is a fun toy that was designed to introduce your little one to the art of needlecraft. The original owner of this toy obviously never caught on, or didn't try, as the contents have remained in their box since the 1940s.
You can learn to embroider, or sew several dresses for the 5" Japanese all bisque doll that is included.
Have fun!
In very good condition, save for a partial loss to the side of the box lid.

Box measures: 2" x 13 1/2" x 10 1/2"

We have found that the largest size Waltershausen dollhouse furniture works very well with many types of dolls, as well as in large dollhouses. This handsome Biedermeier Writing Table is an exceptionally nice piece, with the original finish, open cubbies and drawers, a writing surface with a Dresden paper-edged blotter, and a gallery of wire and turned finials up on top.
This handsome piece is possibly a fine product from the Kestner firm.

Measures: 7 1/2" wide x 4 1/4" deep x 8 3/4" tall

We do not like to use the term "salesman sample" lightly, so in order for us to use it, we believe the piece in question must exhibit special characteristics. We believe those characteristics are present in this American chaise, and are highlighted by exacting proportions.
Details include construction from black walnut with delicate chip carving in the Eastlake taste, plus pine as a secondary wood (one replaced leg on the back). The original upholstery is wine-colored mohair velvet with a delicate rope acting as gimp. Upon the base, someone has written "1885" in pencil.
A handsome piece that the miniature furniture collector will appreciate as much as the doll collector.
