Thank you have seen several ..😊
One point that has been forgotten in the modern age (i.e., 1900 and forward) is that, until that time, architecture was considered one of the three major forms of art, with painting and sculpture being the other two. This may help explain the status of the doll house.
UPDATE : All price estimates where taken from an old web article that turned out to be wildly innacurate on the Dutch houses in particular. Petronella and Sara Rothe dollhouses value are jointly as inestimable as Mary's house. Prices may vary over time too. Sorry for any confusion caused. X
Fascinating, thank you. I've read Empty Mansions more than once and her devotion to her Japanese houses as well as the craftsmen and their families is such a statement about her.
So you didn’t do your homework 😒
Priceless!!! S . Newton
Thank you for this fantastic video. It was a beautiful, educational diversion.
All just fun to watch. Prices change through time as well.
My Father...a builder, created doll houses, in his retirement.. beautiful houses.. he had quite a following..Princess Ann has one of his houses. The first house he made me, completely took up my whole bedroom. We sold it, and I had him build me a row style...furnished it electrified it...beautiful!
wow sounds great would love to know more about that!
Hands down, Colleens dollhouse was the best and provided funds To those less fortunate with it's tour around the country!! She was a great person!!! I still have my personalized autographed doll house book from her!!!
I went to see it in Chicago in 2021…it’s still perfect and beautiful! It’s also fun to watch other visitors admire it
I remember it, as a child. It inspired me to begin the " love of miniatures/dollhouses.
I had a feeling the, Queen Mary Dollhouse, would be number one. I watched a documentary about it a few years ago. It's exceptionally detailed, even down to the garage.
The name of the documentary please
@@rachellechristelle7271 I forget. I think it was a BBC documentary. Even if it wasn't, I'm sure a quick Google should point you in the right direction. My line is; Google first. Ask questions later.
Thank you for this video! I grew up in Chicago, so I'm partial to Colleen Moore's Fairy Tale Castle. I went to the Museums quite a bit growing up, but the Museum of Science and Industry was my favorite. No visit there was complete until I viewed the Castle, which instilled a love of miniatures for the rest of my life. My father built miniature models for architectural firms and did restoration work on the Thorn Room miniatures at the Art Institute (Chicago). After finishing those projects, he built four 18th century miniature rooms, of course my mother and I helped him with decor items to furnish those rooms. He still has two of the rooms left and built a special cabinet to showcase them. Eventually I became an interior designer and of course I relished the opportunity to build miniatures for my class projects.
Same. Feeling nostalgic…
All of these dollhouses are beautiful. The amount of work, artistry and dedication to building each one is amazing. My favorite is the Queen Mary dollhouse. My sister, who is six years older than me, had a very simple wooden dollhouse. I remember it was painted red, green and white. I got to play with it too but by the time I was old enough to play with it, whatever items that had been inside the house were gone. I would love to still have it today; by now it would be about 90 years old. I'm a new subscriber and very much enjoyed learning the history of these dollhouses.
I’ve seen Colleen Moore’s fairy castle several times. It’s a wonder! Really magical!
I appreciated hearing about how many of these dollhouses were used to benefit people :)
I grew up visiting Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle and it inspired a love of miniatures and doll houses for my whole life. This was an absolutely wonderful video.
So lucky... must have been great.
I was very lucky. We'd visit the museum about once a year and I have several Fairy Castle souvenirs. For an exhibit that is always busy, the museum does an absolutely amazing job of creating a magical and intimate viewing experience. It's truly wonderful.
I've also seen Colleen Moore's dollhouse at the MSI in Chicago. The pictures don't do it justice. It's magnificent!
Amazing at how intricate and beautiful they are.
Wonderful video! As a doll house enthusiast, owner, and maker of my own doll house and furnishings, I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing all these extraordinary creations together in one video. Thanks so very much!
All are beautiful. My favorite are Petronella Oortman & Queen Mary
That really escalated quickly, from $12,000 to the moon. I was astonished to see to Titania’s Palace at Number five. I never dreamed that there could be anything more elaborate than that. I think it’s still my favorite but I would love a deeper dive into any of these houses.
Same here. I would love to examine them at my own pace. You miss so much as a museum visitor. Rush, rush, rush.
I'm a fan of #4. I saw it as a child, & remember it to this day. It may not be the most expensive. However, the feature not mentioned? Took a child's imagination soaring. A handheld phone receiver was provided, describing each room. As a story line. I would certainly, visit again as an adult. If I still lived in the Chicago area ❤️ Thank you for such a beautiful made video 🏘 🎯
My Aunt did Dollhouses and they were gorgeous. She could make bread, cakes and candies that looked delicious. She made all her own dishes and pottery. Handmade flowers that you could practically smell 🙂. What a wonderful video.
That is awesome!
I have had the great good fortune to see Queen Mary's Dollshouse and it is truly one of the most beautiful works of art I have ever seen. Thank you for such a wonderful video! There is a wonderful book on Queen Mary's Dollshouse that is readily available and well worth the cost.
I went to see it 50 years ago, I have had an interest in these houses since.
Do u know the name of the book I'm looking to get a few dollhouse books!
I agree the Queen Mary dollhouse is fantastic but for me the Colleen Moore in Chicago is the very best!❤ I grew up in Chicago close to the museum and saw it dozens of times. If you have the chance to see it please do. It's worth it. ❤😊
I grew up there as well. I remember it as a child. For my 10th. birthday? All I asked for was doll furniture...of which I received! Best birthday ever 🎉
❤ 😉😊
I'll never forget seeing Queen Mary's dollhouse while living in England almost 60 years ago!
I've never been able to resist miniatures. I find fascinating pieces that I'd ignore if they were full scale. Those are some amazing houses. I can't imagine having water piped in to Queen Mary's dollhouse though! Thank you for sharing.
Queen Mary's dolls house - without doubt magnificent
This was fun. Queen Mary's dollshouse has always been a favorite of mine. Having a dedicated room just for a massive dollshouse would be nice too. Thanks
The fairy tale castle in Chicago is my absolute favorite
Oh, this is so good. I love all the close-ups and details and the dive into a craft I never really thought about before. Definitely subbing to see what you explore next - thank you!
I saw Cinderella castle in museum of science and industry when I 12 and fell in love with it...over the years I have gone back several times and I make a point of visiting...it is one of my most favorite things in the world.
If I had one these miniature houses.
I would invent a shrinking
machine.Make myself really small and simply move in.🤗🤗
All these dollhouses are so amazing.
Colleen Moore house also has some running water in it.
Stunning workmanship, dedication to detail is outstanding. My heart ❤️ is happy just being able to see them in the video 😮. Mind blown
I loved ALL the dolls houses you showed us here, but I have to admit that I'll always have a soft spot for Queen Mary's doll house. I live in Melbourne, Australia, but I was born in England, and every time I go back I visit Queen Mary's doll house, because it's so unbelievably gorgeous. The last time I saw it I was really lucky because there were no other people around so I got to stay there for ages and walk around it and see everything. I'd love to see all of the doll houses you showed us here. Love from Amanda in Melbourne, Australia
Queen Mary's Doll house is unbelievable... definitely the best in the world. Wow.
I've seen two of them. Colleen Moore's and Queen Mary's, both are fantastic. Queen Mary's even has a working Hoover vacuum cleaner, that works. Just mesmerizing, both of them!
When I was little I got a dollhouse for Christmas.
It was two story and it was made of metal.
It came with all the furnishings.I provided the imagination.🤗
All are facinating and enchanting
I always wanted a dolls house but ive never had one . I can even remember the one that i loved, it was a very ordinary 50s style but i was a bit too old for santa at the time. Now that im in the late autumn of my life someday i might just get one if i find a place that my pup cant reach. ❤
Priceless sounds like infinite 😮
I've seen the doll house in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Absolutely breath taking! I would've liked a few DAYS versus a few hours in that museum!
Fantastic post. I have only seen Queen Mary's dollhouse, but enjoyed your coverage of the others, which I will not see in person.
So great❤
English Gothic dolls house is my favourite. Though I liked the cabinet doll house too, as I like the idea of it being in a cabinet. Great video. Thank you.
Love them all
Thank you 🙏🏾
Jaw dropping is an understatement Tasmin, they’re all just absolutely amazing miniatures and houses, tfs x Julie
Colleen Moore’s Fairy Castle, also has running water and working fire arms.
Thank you for taking the time posting this video. I have 4 dollhouses. I greatly appreciate all of the pertinent information you shared. I want to go back & listen again to take notes so that I can research each dollhouse one by one. Thanks happy dollhouse hunting. 💃🏻💕🏠
Your very welcome x
I know this is not quite the same thing... But I was wondering if you have ever read the book eighteen tiny deaths? It's all about a woman who is basically the mother of friends of science. She created a series of miniatures that are still used by police today. They are miniatures of what could be considered crime scenes. It's a really fascinating book and I think it would make for a very interesting video.
Yes i have heard of it, its very interesting. If i pick up the book at some point i may do a video on it. Thanks for your comment x
I watched a program about this amazing woman.
I was waiting to see if Colleen More's house was to be included! Glad to see that it was.
Absolutely gorgeous houses.
The only one of these dollhouses I've seen is Titania's Palace when it stood in Legoland, Billund. I knew it was moved but I didn't know to where. Now I know i can find it on The Castle of Egeskov. Thank you.
My father bought for me a dollhouse while I was growing up. ✌
This was lovely.
Thank-you.....I loved every moment✨
I am surprised the doll house in the Smithsonian in D.C. isn’t on this list. It has enchanted me since my first visit as a small child.
I live less than 20 km from Titanias palace. I love it very much.
Awesome! I’ve seen the one in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry as well as the outstanding Thorne Rooms at the Chicago Museum of Art. I have known about Queen Mary’s Dollhouse, but none of the others. Thank you so much!

I have always been fascinated by miniatures. I made my four year old niece a simple 5 room dollhouse when l was 18 and had a great time handmaking furniture for it. I even made upholstered chairs, a grandfather clock, and carved wooden tables. She still has it 48 years later, but there are only remnants of the furniture left after she played with it through her childhood years. The Queen Mary's Dollhouse is a great work of art. I would love to see it in person.
The Nurenberg (toy) museum is an absolute Must for all Dolls' houses and Toys, Go at Christmas to also enjoy the market. In the National Museum there are also Holbeins and Durers.
This was great!!
Favourite is the Stettheimer house. Second favourite is Colleen Moore's fairy castle. I have not seen either one in person and those are the two I would love to see.
So amazing. I remember seeing an article about a dollhouse in National Geographic when i was a kid and have been fascinated with miniatures ever since. Thank you for sharing and to me they are all priceless so no worries if you got incorrect numbers from some article!
Great video!
So interesting! I would have loved having a doll house as a child!
It's never too late
A lovely video !
Awww… saw that you listed the music in your comment area.. I found it! Thank you! It went perfectly with your beautiful video of the doll houses 🏡
Just marvelous, thank you
OMG thank you for sharing these amazing doll houses. When i was around 12, I😂🎉 would go to Knoxberry Farm in California, Mrs Knox had an entire room devoted to wonderful doll houses. It was around 1959 or 60 and it was only a quarter to get in. It was something I always looked forward to. ❤😊
I wonder if it still is there? I visited there at Christmas 1958.
Queen Mary's has always been my favourite, after I saw it in a Nat Geo magazine iirc. Drinking game: meticulous. Fun detail: the motorcycles and cars in QM's actually run, and there's petrol pump for them. Everything in there works, which I think is quite unique across these.
Wow I didn't know that. Insane
Brilliant, thanks for sharing. I love doll houses
That last miniature house thats what I call A real miniature estate.
I loved it what a piece of art.
Now, I would like to see a modern version with real miniature working flatscreen tv's, real miniature computers, running windows on tiny monitors with tooth pics on tiny boards. And other smart home gadgets you can find inside a luxury house but downscaled.
Fully working kitchen with authentic gas and micro owen but tiny.
And for the garage not just toycars but real working downscaled cars, Now that would be a nice addition to the old one.😀👍
I have loved the video, since my childhood I love miniatures, but this is incredible, I wish to visit all, mansha Allah❤❤
Beautiful as these dollhouses are, in my heart none can ever compare with the one my dear Dad hand-made for me as a child. It may not have had all the bells and whistles which these high-end houses have, but it was fully electrified with beautiful carpeting throughout. I loved it and wish I had it with me now.
Wow I feel better that it is not only me tbat enjoy miniature )
Amazing!
I love them all.I would like to see an old Farm House or Log Cabin.I've always loved miniatures and I do collect mini Tea Sets.
Sylvanian families have a wooden log cabin featured in my top 10 expensive sets really cute. czcams.com/video/PtWjfiVp2s4/video.htmlfeature=shared
I truely enjoyed them all. I have no one favorate, I loveed them all.
What a treat!! Thank you so much wonderful video 😊 good work. I'd love to move into one ❤
I love your channel! These doll houses are beautiful and the craftsmanship is incredible. ❤⭐️❤️
WOW. I know none of my houses could ever reach that $$$ but it doesn't diminish my love or pride from building them. ( just hope my children really don't burn them when i die).
Interesting video, one small correction, Queen Mary did not commission the Dolls House that carries her name. It was presented to her to raise money for her favourite charities. It toured around Great Britain before Windsor Castle became it's permanent home.
Cool video! Miniatures fascinate me. And these are beautiful!
I remember some of the happiest times my dear (departed) friend and l shared years ago was assembling and making items for the dollhouse my husband had built for our four year old daughter. Unfortunately my daughter broke the contents of the dollhouse faster than we could fabricate them. I had a basket where the damaged goods would go. We jokingly called it sick bay. The house is gone, but my love for miniatures lives on.
Thanks for this video. It was very interesting. 🌹
I love the Thorne rooms in Chicago
Wow!
Just love the thick air
And soft voice.
Its amazing - I have seen the top two in person! But now I want to see the others :)
Queen Marys house is unreal. But not one doll lives in it.
I know kind of sad
I hate to say it but I don’t actually like dolls so I don’t mind that no one lives there. It’s just allows more room for imagination😂
These are such incredible pieces of art. The immense detail and beauty of these dollhouses is breathtaking.
My favorite dollhouse is Colleen Moore’s dollhouse in Chicago. I saw it as a child and fell in love with dollhouses because of it. I would, however, love to see the one on Long Island.
Excellent
I would love to re-create Franklin Castle, but in dollhouse form.
Franklin Castle was built in the 1800's by a man named
Hans Tiedemann.
The Castle is located in Cleveland, Ohio USA.
I have seen it in person but only from the street.
I never went inside because it was locked.
The people who own it now are restoring it.
And....you can actually stay the night there as well.
Also, it's haunted, too.
They have guest books in the room that you can write your experience(s) in.
Loved your video and all of the dollhouses featured.
Sounds really interesting will have to look up more about it. Thanks for sharing
@@TasminBassettArt You're Welcome.
☺️❤️
Love dollhouses and miniatures. Carol from California
I was curious if the Fairy Castle in Chicago would make the cut. Delighted it did. It's one of those memories that stands the strongest of my trip there. I love doll houses and made my friends crazy by wanting to linger so long to admire the details as long as I could.
I'll have to go see Titania's Palace when I next go to Denmark. Thank you! :)
The Astolat Dollhouse is no longer at the Nassau County Museum in Long Island NY. That section of the museum was called the Tee Ridder Museum on the Nassau museum grounds and no longer exists. I’m not sure where the Astolat house is now.
I came here to note the same. The Astolat hasn’t been in that museum for years. Wish I knew where it went.
Wow! Jaw dropping is right! The price of these doll houses certainly does jump! That first big jump, 82,000.00 to 256.500.00!! That’s a big jump! They are all just beautiful though. Enjoyed the video very much. Thanks!
❤️💜💚
Queen Marie’s doll house has always been my favourite because it’s exquisite inside and of course every girls dream doll house.Loved all the others which of course were still beautiful and wonderfully decorated .But so many you would be so nervous to open up,let alone move furniture ,or change things around..So I will stay with the beautiful one I chose as my favourite,and knowing it was made here for theQueen Mary. I just love that one 🥰
These are amazing. I went to a dollhouse museum in Santa Monica, Ca awhile back. It was in an old Victorian house. It had some really incredible dollhouses in it. I believe it closed in 2017 and not sure if it ever reopened. It was really worth the visit.
Have seen Titanias Palace and Queen Mary's dolls house many, many years ago both are stunning .
Love doll houses ever since my granddad built me one over 75 years ago! I played with it constantly and my children played with it until it fell apart. My mother threw the pieces away and I was heartbroken! Since then I have built several but its not the same as my most loved one from my childhood!
Thanks for the presentation. I've been to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry many times and have seen the impressive Colleen Moore doll house. That and the Nazi submarine.
What a lovely video!
Of all the houses listed sadly the only one I’ve been able to see in person has been the Colleen Moore fairytale castle. It is incredible though. Hopefully someday I will see some of the others..
The Colleen Moore one is still my favorite !
