London Dollshouse Showcase

Established in 1985, the London Dollshouse Festivals have been searching the globe for the best craftsmen who can perfectly replicate every day life in miniature. We have artists from all corners of the world attending our London shows. These craftsmen specialise in all aspects of miniatures from a grand, fully decorated mansion to a humble clothes peg & everything in between.

SPRING ONLINE SHOWCASE: Antonietta Piccinni. I met Antonietta at Kensington way before Covid hit & was impressed by her tiny Faberge eggs that she had started to make. Time passed & the pandemic along with moving house etc meant that she could not concentrate on creating these tiny artworks, but we are excited to be able to share with you for the 1st time some of these wonders in our Online Showcase running from 4-10 Feb. Free access via our website. With the fabulous Faberge exhibition in at the @vamuseum, what better time to purchase a tiny bejewelled egg of your own? PHOTO 2 ARE REAL FABERGE EGGS!

SPRING ONLINE SHOWCASE: Sally Reader. One of the things I look forward to with each of our shows, is to see what new treasures have been thought up by our exhibitors & there are a couple of stands I always check out as soon as I can, as I know their new pieces will be snapped up by their fans. One such maker is Sally Reader, who always seems to have thought up some more tiny characters to create; many from our favourite fiction or TV shows (I am not a collector but I do have a small collection of her work myself as I just can’t resist!) Here you can see her tiny version of Humpty, designed by Kristin Baybars & made famous by the ‘70’s TV show ‘Play School’. You can find out more about how this character came to be so loved in our film ‘A Pathway of Crumbs’ the film we made about the life & work of Kristin. It is available to see for free on our website. One story that didn’t make the film was about how Humpty was such a big star, that when he made personal appearances, he would always travel in his own black taxi! #humpty #playschool #1970stv #kristinbaybars #kdfonline

SPRING ONLINE SHOWCASE: Artlittle.
Lots of work to do for our online showcase on Feb 4th - 10th. The catalogue has gone to print. This will be posted to our regular visitors at the end of this week. One of the reasons we enjoy hosting our online shows is because we can include craftsmen who maybe can’t attend one of our London shows like Artlittle from Spain. I adore her wrought iron beds & other pieces of furniture. Very rustic! Alumdena with have a limited amount of pieces available during the showcase next month #ironbed #rusticdecor #kdfonline #dollshouseshowcase #shabbychicdollhouse #shabbychic

SPRING ONLINE SHOWCASE: Annelies de Kort

I don’t know about you, but sometimes it is the most ordinary things replicated in miniature that fill me with joy! I received this photo from Annelies de Kort Miniaturen yesterday, which will be part of her gallery for our online showcase from February 4th - 10th & I immediately felt better. Who could have thought a very basic pair of socks could have this effect on me! (I am not saying her work is basic.. knitting at this size always takes incredible skill)

Unfortunately, the photo does not show scale but they are 1:12 so small. Annelies has attended our live shows at Kensington Town Hall, but this will be the 1st time she has been part of our online showcase. She creates the most magical knitted miniatures including sweaters, toys & of course socks.

Annelies will be joined by over 80 other miniaturists, all sharing their wonderful work with you. The showcase will be accessible via our website from 11am on Friday 4th February & open until 5pm on Thursday 10th February. More information can be found on our website (link in bio)

MICHAL MORSE: Celebrating 50 years in The Dolls House.

I posted earlier this year about the lovely day I had at The Dolls House in Northleach with Michal Morse & friends, celebrating her 50 years in the Dolls House world.

I worked for Michal from 1986 in her Covent Garden Shop, where I met so many of my friends (many of whom work with me at our dolls house shows today) & where I really fell in love with miniatures & met many of the incredible craftsmen that exhibit at my shows.

If you want to read more about Michal's career in her own words, visit our website (link in bio), where you will find an article that was published in our last show catalogue, including more photos of Michal & her shops.

It is interesting to see the artwork (drawn by Michal herself) for many of her adverts back in the 70's & 80's, & it really does bring back memories of good times in Covent Garden! This photo is of Michal with her very 1st dolls house.

SPRING ONLINE SHOWCASE: Merry Christmas. Sorry we are a little late posting our Christmas image.. real life got in the way, but I did want to post this photo of one of Maria Bevill’s incredible Christmas trees. I met Maria at a show in the US a few years ago & marvelled at her gorgeous Christmas trees. She was keen to travel to London to exhibit her work but then Covid hit so this has not happened yet, but she has taken part in our online showcases, so we can continue to see her beautiful work. You will be able to see some of her new designs in our Spring Online Showcase taking place between 4-10 February 2022. Access to the showcase will be via our website. #christmastrees #kdfonline #dollshouses #dollhouse

Our next event is our Spring Online Showcase that is taking place from February 4th - 10th 2022. Following on form the success of our online showcases during lockdown, our online events are now part of our regular annual calendar.

LDF SPRING ONLINE SHOWCASE: February 4th - 10th 2022

We are now gearing up for our next online showcase that will take place from Feb 4th - 10th 2022. These have been so popular in the past & we are excited to be able to host this event once again.

You can gain FREE access to the showcase at 11am on Friday Feb 4th directly from our website. The showcase is a great way to meet the artisans who take part in our live shows (& some that we just wish could take part!) The showcase is easy to navigate & find the craftsmen you are interested in & connect to them & their online stores.

Most of the craftsmen who take part will be creating special pieces for the showcase, so it is a unique opportunity to see work that you won’t find in their regular webshops.

The photo is of an incredible piece made by @david_iriartestudio an insanely talented furniture maker from Spain. He is a regular exhibitor at both our live shows & our online showcases - his work is in great demand from the top collectors worldwide.

More information on other makers taking part in the showcase will follow soon.
