REGENCY DOLL’S HOUSE AND CONTENTS. This little English box back dolls house, circa 1810-1830, has certain characteristics in common with some other early dolls houses attributed to the late 18th century, most notably to Vivien Greene’s “Dower House” and to Flora Gill Jacobs’ “Georgian Town House” with the front door treatment nearly identical to the former, and its general construction and appearance similar to the latter. Retaining its original painted exterior, it depicts a faux limestone facade and retains its original wallpapers, Evans & Cartwright fireplace, carrying handle on the roof, lion’s head door knocker with ring, brass doorknob on the paneled “mahogany” front door, etc. Included is some early 19th century furniture and accessories, and three lovely early Grodnertal dolls. Furnishings include a wonderful English iron half-tester bed with gilt ball finials, two pairs of early Empire style red Saxony chairs, Empire style fruit wood sofa and china cabinet, and a “rosewood” Empire style tilt top center table, and more. Purchased in Boston many years ago purportedly from an old New England collection. SIZE: 28″ h x 17″ w x 12″ d.
