Miniature Dolls Houses and How They Originated
Originally dolls houses were actually aimed more at the grownups than children! It was a hobby of the very affluent people in society to collect “baby houses” as they were known back in the late 17th and 18th centuries.
They were usually contructed to actually fit inside a cabinet. It would have the appearance on the outside of an ordinary piece of furniture but when it was opened it revealed an beautiful dolls house with many rooms. On the inside there would be all the furniture scaled down to size and the craftsmanship was of the highest standards.
The dolls which were usually made of wood or wax are extremely collectible toys today.
Antique wax dolls are usually made by pouring wax into a mould. Wax does’nt really seem to be the best material for making dolls but they were less fragile than bisque or china and it could be tinted to give the doll a beautiful and realistic skin tone.
It is sometimes quite difficult to accurately date these dolls because they were tricky to mark and the only way they could do this was by labelling them.
It was in the 19th century that “baby houses” began to be known as dolls houses and were often found in nurseries of the children belonging to wealthy families.
They were often furnished with beautiful needlepoint rugs and couches upholstered in silk. The furniture was usually made of fine wood and was accurately cut down to scale.
It was by the end of the 19th century the dolls were made of glazed china and bisque. The attention to detail was astounding and often the dolls were even equipped with their own gloves, purses, fans and even sewing kits! This made them very easy to personalise and the accessories became very popular gifts for her.
In recent times plastic and metal dolls houses were introduced but undoubtedly it is the amazing craftsmanship of the early “baby houses” which have stood the test of time that will definately remain firm favourites with miniature collectors today.

If the dog is biting at it's rear end, it most likely means his anal glands need to be expressed. Take him to the Vet or a professional groomer and have his glands expressed - It will be less than $20.
