Miniature Palaces And Dollhouses

Dollhouse enthusiasts usually trace the origins of their fascination to European 'baby houses' of the 1700s, though kids were kept far, far away from these elegant treasures; they were more a status symbol than a real plaything.


Dollhouses arguably have roots as far back as the ancient Egyptians, if not further... There is something magical in making things smaller; even your office tower may look like a doll house from a certain angle, without you realizing it.
