    DOLL FURNITURE

    This Victorian style furniture dates to the late s and early s. Sadly, the doll house has not survived. While early doll house furniture was mostly handmade, by the beginning of the 20th century, it was manufactured in quantity in both the United States and in Europe. Miniature doll house furniture was typically built on a scale of two-thirds inch to one foot.

    Dollhouse furniture was available through mail-order catalogs such as Montgomery Ward and Sears Roebuck. Furniture sets made of wood, bamboo, cloth, glass, tin, and ceramic could be purchased for every room of the doll house - kitchen, dining room, living room, parlor and bedroom. The mirrored dressers and cabinets are in the style of Charles Eastlake, English architect and furniture designer, popular during the period The bamboo furniture reflects its popularity from when large quantities were manufactured for American homes.
