Queen Mary's Dolls' House
The idea for a very special dollhouse for Queen Mary
originated from a concept by Queen Victoria’s granddaughter,
the late Princess Marie Louise, whose parents
lived in Cumberland Lodge
The princess decided to approach the renowned architect
Sir Edwin Lutyens to design a large dollhouse
It was intended as a gift for Queen Mary,
but also as a legacy for future generations
The result is a marvel of exquisite miniatures
The manor house was designed with rooms furnished
in the style of the eighteenth century
Every small painting on the walls was created
by a prominent contemporary artist
In the library, the portrait of Elizabeth I hangs above
the fireplace, and beautiful books draw the eye
A drawer in one of the cabinets contains drawings
and watercolors by artists such as Mark Gertler,
Russell Fling, and Adrian Stokes

and the ceiling fitted with beams

Miniature Theater Made in 1:12 Scale / Miniatuur theater gemaakt schaal 1:12
I assembled a printable kit to create a miniature theater
for the children’s room in my dollhouse

now proudly stands in the children’s room
