Early 20th Century Scratch Built Family Doll's House
This early 20th-century family dolls house carries a heart warming story. Believed to have been crafted in the 1930s by William Williamson of Swinton, Manchester, UK, for his five children, using old soap boxes.
While its resemblance to their actual house remains a mystery, the idea is both imaginative and charming.
What sets this house apart is the preservation of its origin as a box with a label on the bottom then a peek inside the attic reveals a carved-out handle, stamped numbers, and stamped writing.
Every detail, from the drawn-on front door to the vintage wallpaper (some even coloured in), reflects the genuine homemade nature of this piece.
Standing at 76 cm, with a width of 36 cm and a depth of 19.5 cm, this dolls house exudes sweetness and is a testament to the love that went into its creation.
