The 16th Century Dollhouse

Considered one of the most expensive dollhouses, this dollhouse is made for kings and queens - a 16th Century Dollhouse, made by Kevin Mulvany and Susie Rogers, husband and wife. They were well-informed historians who had 25 years of experience in creating historically correct and detailed European castles and mansions that look exactly like the original ones, while living in Holt, Wiltshire.

It took over 10,000 hours to create the home and all its detailed furnishings. This six-room dollhouse was commissioned by a private Californian collector at a value of $70,000, in 2009. There are real 16th century cutlers in sterling silver, twenty-two carat, gold-plated decorative leaves along the moldings and skirting of the walls. Each room featured real crystal chandeliers valued at £1000 each, plus furniture made from luxury wood, miniature hand-painted Sevres porcelain dinnerware and a miniature antique statue of Italian sculptor Antonio Canova’s Three Grace Statue.

The rooms are based upon various locations from the 16th century Versailles Palace, the Chateau de Bagatelle and the Palace of Fontainebleau. These are all connected to Marie Antoinette, the infamous female monarch executed during the French revolution in 1793.
