MiniMadWoman Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I didn't read all the way through all the fine print . . . but why would a doll museum sell a dollhouse? :lol: Anyway, it's gorgeous and the price reflects it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan555 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 You would think with an auction of that price the sellers could use actual PARAGRAPHS in the listing description instead of that imposing wall of text that is just about impossible to read. I can't imagine this would get any bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Lots of museums will sell parts of their collections to make room for newer and more important pieces. I learned this on Antiques Roadshow and I dont remember what the name of it is. That is why it is being offered for so much. It is worthy of the price but they dont have any local interest. If they were nearer to me they might have had it sold at Sotheby`s in NYC. Our local museum has done that. They have a dollhouse collection too.I should call and ask if I can take pictures and go there and snap a few to show all of you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatrbug Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 good taste :lol: i think its the period they portray that caught me... very civil war era, and i love anything from early 1800s to 1915. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Ooooooooooooooooohhhh. Oh my! What an incredible find! If I had the money, I wouldn't even think twice. It's truly a treasure. Not only is it beautifully preserved, but the careful detailing is just fascinating. I wish there were more close up pictures. I'd love to see more details of the chairs made from tortoiseshell combs, the Baroque cabinet and the enameled St George panels. <blissful sigh> If I were to see this house in person, I think I'd sit down in front of it and study it for hours and hours. The dolls are just as intriguing. I'm not big on dolls, but I think I fell in love with the peg dolls. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
