Created between 1921 and 1924, Queen Mary&;s Dolls&; House is one of the most beautiful and famous dolls&; houses in the world. The structure was designed by British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens and features the craftsmanship of over one thousand artists. The house was meticulously furnished, meant to serve as a representation of a real royal residence, including bedroom chambers, saloon and dining rooms, a fully stocked wine cellar, functional kitchen, garage, and garden. The house even features electricity, running water, and working elevators.
But perhaps most impressive of all is the house&;s spellbinding library, running the full length of the ground floor. Lining the walls of this tiny Edwardian library are over 300 miniature books and dozens of original paintings. The remarkable miniature collection features works specially produced by some of the finest authors of the 1920s. This selection was curated by the Princess Marie Louise and the author E.V. Lucas, who contacted hundreds of renowned authors to solicit original works. From poetry by Thomas Hardy to stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, gardening books to atlases, stamp albums to train timetables, these works represent British aristocratic life and the best examples of art and literature of the time. This lavishly illustrated volume is accompanied by a foreword by Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall, making this volume the premiere guidebook to the crown&;s miniature royal residence.
