You’d be pressed not to peek into the Palace of Versailles.Of course, while many of us played with dollhouses as kids, the miniatures I will show on this post are more the work of adult hobbyists. As you’d expect, early dollhouses were all handmade until the Industrial Revolution when they began mass producing toys.
Smaller houses with more realistic exteriors appeared in Europe during the 18th century. Not to mention, they often cost as much as a house. But more because these early dollhouses were often status symbols of rich people who could afford them in England, Germany, and the Netherlands. And no, the reasons had nothing to do with safety concerns since child labor was rampant back then. Yet, unlike most dollhouses you’d find at Wal Mart today, these were handmade with architectural details and filled with miniature household items that weren’t made to a uniform scale even within an individual house. These displays mostly consisted of cabinet display cases consisting of individual rooms. Nonetheless, today’s dollhouses trace their history back 400 years to the European baby house display cases that showed idealized interiors, which first appeared in the 16th century. Think Lester Freamon in The Wire who likes making dollhouse furniture. However, while dollhouses have primarily been a domain for children, their collection and crafting can also be a hobby for many adults. Yet most will come with a family along with all kinds of furniture and accessories which are sometimes sold separately. When many of us are kids, we may have dollhouses we’d play with from time to time.
