| Description: |
This book traces the history of doll's houses, looking at the furniture behind the facades of 35 grand mansions, elegant townhouses, and humble homes with pictures that lead readers from room to room, revealing exquisitely crafted interiors and their intricate furnishings: tapestry rugs, solid silver services, and hand-painted porcelain. Most houses are inhabited by a doll family, and sometimes their staff, all dressed in contemporary costume, to complete this study of domestic life over the last 350 years. |
