17th and 18th Century Baby House Project

 

 

 

The dolls presented here are part of the enormous project I spent the last 6 months on . I am honored to have them represented in a permanent collection which includes the very finest examples of English wooden and William and Mary period dolls furniture and other miniature artifacts and objects know to exist. These small dolls ranging in size from 2 inches to 8 inches tall have been a joy to create. I worked closely with my client who has three of the most original and historically important example of 17 th and 18th century “Baby Houses” or know to us today as doll houses. These dolls exhibited along with the collection mentioned above at the Concord Museum in Concord Massachusetts the Exhibit called “the Art and Mystery of the Doll house” exhibited from October 14th to January 16th 2016 . In addition I wrote an article for the December 2016 issue of Antique Doll Magazine about the exhibit and my work as the artist. In addition to the items pictures here I made several pets and other objects for this exhibit. I will endeavor to add them all. If you have any question? yo can go to the contact tab on the home page of this website and send me an email . Thank you for your visit.

Convex mirror

What a great piece! I am very happy to offer  this mirror, a replica from my own antique miniature mirror. I am very pleased with how it turned out and thrilled that I was able to get convex mirrors to complete the look . You can see the original antique mirror in my doll room. It is in the hallway above the demi lune  table.  While the original mirror is a turned wood frame. This piece is made of a very hard plaster material with the decorative elements cast in a plastic . Non the less a lovely item.

Tiny Doll and Doll room

Here is my latest reproduction of an English style wooden doll. WOW!! she is only 2.5 inches tall and come with her own amazing period doll room complete with furniture and accessories!!

She has the authentic turned torso with jointed legs that bend at the hips and knees. She has hand carved fork type hands, with very delicate individual fingers and thumb.I hand carve my dolls in the same manner and method as the originals.

She has hand fired enameled eyes !! yes that’s right! A unique feature of my dolls. I have been an enamelist for over twenty years and have perfected the technique for making these museum quality enameled eyes. This is a key element to giving my dolls their wonderful “presence”, and authentic look. This doll is especially amazing because her enameled eyes are probably the tiniest in existence.

Her dress : She wears a court dress in antique 18th century silk fabric. there are a few wear spots to the fabric due to it’s age but it is overall in excelent condition. Her cuffs and stomacher are decorated with coral 18th century fabric as well and antique net lace ruffles.Of course our lady must have jewelry so I made her a lovely necklace of very rare micro beads.These beads are so small and not even made any more, they are 100 years old. she has red painted shoes.

THE ROOM: Well I have to say my eyes need a rest after making this very tiny room it measures 6 inches x 6 inches wide and stands only 5 inches tall. I made every thing in the room excluding the rug. The room is taken from an example of a 1775 Virginia Parlor. It has a very impressive mantel with Pilasters on either side decorated with crown moldings . the windows are 12 panes and have paneled shutters I have painted a lovely garden sene outside the windows to complete the look. the furniture feature a Chippendale Settee with upholstered seat in a gold and brown striped silk. the side chair is a George the lll also upholstered in silk but this time it is gold and tan. I made a pedestal table which has two hand carved wine glasses and a decanter these are carved from a very hard plastic and finished to a clear finish giving them the look of glass. I have made two different candles for the room one on the table is a silver cancel holder with a handel and the other is also carved from the plastic to look like glass and sits on the mantel. I have put a can of cola by the room to give you an idea of scale.
