Later in life, Agnes Maria Clifford (1739–1828),
wife of Cornelis Backer and called “Grootje”
since the birth of her grandchildren,
devoted herself to furnishing and decorating two dollhouses
During the XXSmall exhibition at the Gemeentemuseum in
The Hague, they were displayed side by side for the first time again
Unfortunately, it was very dark there, making it
difficult to take good photos through the glass
Her initials AMC, the dates 1805 and 1806,
and her ages 66 and 67 are embroidered
in the floor rugs of both houses
Ownership of older doll accessories may have inspired her,
and in 1789 she inherited the miniature silver
The style of the furnishings and the dressing of the
dolls reflects the period between 1785 and 1810
Both houses are true showpiece dollhouses that teach
a lot about interior design from the late
18th and early 19th centuries
veel leren over de interieurinrichting uit de
laat 18de en vroeg 19de eeuw
The detailed dressing of the English wooden
dolls is especially spectacular
This dollhouse can be seen in the attic of
the Simon van Gijn House in Dordrecht
