Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Dollhouse fanciers will be delighted with this book and its hundreds of color illustrations of factory-made dollhouses dating from the mid-19th century through the 1970s. Drawn from private and museum collections, these examples all hail from the three major dollhouse manufacturing centers during that periodAAmerica, Great Britain, and Germany. Values given are based upon the author's estimates, and tips are provided on what might add to or detract from the overall value of each dollhouse. Additionally, there is documentation on metal, plastic, wood, and cardboard furniture, accessories, and dollhouse-sized dolls, as well as brief histories of the manufacturers. A final section lists dealers, relevant periodicals, and museums in the United States specializing in dollhouses. A sequel to the authors' American Dollhouses and Furniture of the 20th Century (Schiffer, 1995), this book is essential for all collectibles/decorative arts collections.AMargarete Gross, Chicago P.L.

5.0 out of 5 stars Antique & Collectible Dollhouses and their Furnishings, November 12, 2000
By "thetoyman" (PASADENA, CA USA) - See all my reviews
A True Gem for the Vintage Dollhouse enthusiast. Tons of clear pictures as with all of Diane Zilners books, which show we collectors and Antique Dealers alike the true identities of the wonderfully expressive imaginations of miniature makers from the past.

I highly recommend this book to new and old collector's alike -Michael J. Kouri, Antique Toy Appraiser-member of U.F.D.C. & the Schoenhut Collector's Club, author of "The Adventures of Peg Wooden". You might also want to check out American Dollhouses and furniture of the 20th Century. Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars for collectors, July 6, 2005
By alleycat (new hampshire) - See all my reviews
This is a good book if you collect dollhouses (already made and furnished). There is great information on the history of dollhouses with sections highlighting examples from England, Germany, and America. Related topics, not always covered are here as well...dolls, plastic furniture, and metal work are included.
I found the book to be a bit too technical to enjoy-kind of reminded me of a textbook. No roombox interiors are in this book.
