Description
The Queen's Dolls' House: Revised and Updated Edition by Lucinda Lambton This lavishly illustrated book offers a detailed history of the creation, decoration, and furnishing of the royal dollhouse on display at Windsor Castle. Commissioned in the 1920s for Queen Mary and designed by renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, the house is a perfect scale replica of an Edwardian residence, complete in every detail. The book features extensive use of material from the royal archives, detailing for the first time the contributions of the artists, craftspeople, and donors involved in its creation. The dollhouse boasts numerous charming features, including a library with original works by notable authors, a wine cellar with tiny bottles of real vintage wine, and a miniature garage housing elegant Rolls Royce limousines. This new edition of The Queen's Dolls' House has been completely revised and redesigned, featuring new photography and text that has been updated to include discoveries made following the recent conservation of the Dolls' House. With its unique blend of history, architecture, and craftsmanship, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the royal dollhouse and its fascinating story.
