The Finest Piece of Dollhouse Miniature Furniture in the World

On now, through June 29, 2008, the Naples, Florida, Philharmonic Center for the Arts Museum is featuring a re-installation of its Masters of Miniature exhibit. Included in the exhibit is what is said to be THE finest piece of dollhouse miniature furniture in the world, an exact replica of Louis XV's desk.

We Found These Charming Tudor Style Dollhouse Photos with an Estate

Miniature Resource.com recently found these charming photos of a Tudor style dolls house with items we have been liquidating from the estate of miniaturist Anna Hewitt. They were unlabeled and undated, but we think they were probably taken sometime in the early to mid-1980s. We don't know who designed or built this lovely piece, or what has happened to it since these photos were taken. We thought we'd share them with our blog readers for design inspiration!

Recently Miniature Resource.com had the opportunity to visit a local dollhouse miniature collector and she gave us permission to share a photo of her conservatory roombox. This roombox was created by a nationally-known dollhouse miniatures collector (name withheld for security purposes).

Inspiration from the Seattle Dollhouse Miniatures Show

Several of us at Miniature Resource.com went to the Seattle Dollhouse Miniature Show at the Seattle Center, March 3 and 4, 2007, and we snapped some photos of some of the exhibits for inspiration. Now that we have our blog online, we thought we’d share them with our readers.
