Unboxing The Contents Of A 1920`s Dolls House! So Many Small Treasures!

[@curlew-3592]

In the desperate and depressing world we live in this is an absolute breath of fresh air. It’s charm is beyond measure. I love it. Thankyou 🇬🇧🥰🥰

We all can use a healthy mood booster and this was perfect.

[@wildlifeathome]

@@janethuffman5280 Very true, this community is the main reason I began uploading my experience with Nicky, a doe I've known for over 12yrs and her fawns. I wanted to give back the joy I received from these wonderful people.😊🥰🤗💖

​@@wildlifeathome I so agree with the comments here. I will be visiting your channel quickly it sounds lovely.

Kate said it best. “Something about tiny things , tiny old things!” ♥️

[@tinynina76]

Yes! I was thinking the same thing!

[@normagrimstad8869]

Oh yes!

[@wildlifeathome]

As a 50yr old man, you may think it strange I enjoy watching you unpack items for a dolls house. Actually, I've been waiting for this since you mentioned it in a previous video and I cant wait to see the continuation of your dolls house boxes, and the set up, once cleaned. So many unique old pieces, I didn't see a single one I didn't find fascinating in one way or another. The bouquet of flowers at the end and the little pets are my favorite if I had to choose any, they are all just fascinating!😊🥰💖

[@theminiatureworldofkitcabo1633]

It is not strange at all! There is something fascinating about miniature objects regardless of your age, sex or location. There is something magic about them :):) Thank you! :)

[@karenk380]

The dog and cat with the little baskets! Precious!

[@patriciayoung3267]

I'm sure the original owner would be so pleased at how much you love all her tiny treasures. They will have a wonderful home with you.

[@mariemoss2475]

What beautiful treasures, so nice to see all of those things in perfect condition instead of having them broken or mud stuck to them 👍💞💞💞💞

[@shepherd4406]

It almost like I was opening the box with the camera angles you used. Thank you for a delightful time.

[@samariapenaloza6106]

As I'm recently finding myself further and further drawn the ever expanding "rabbit hole."Into the world of miniatures this is absolutely a breath of fresh air and well deserved.

[@rhondatoler1050]

Hello ladies-this was amazing! I had no idea such things were made for 1920s dollhouses-this little girl must have been from a well-to-do family. It made me a little sad-my 95 year old mother was born into a very poor family-she had corncob dolls and made their furniture from rocks. She would have been awed by something like this. I love all of your videos-thank you! Sending you best wishes from West Virginia, US

[@Theoobovril]

Like to young girls let loose in a sweet shop, absolute magic. Who would not enjoy themselves going through all those exciting bits and pieces, there, I know I would get excited.

[@lindamckie1541]

I noticed the little sleeping cat in the basket straight away as I bought one for my mum back in the 70's on either a day trip with the school or Brownies. I'm fairly certain it came from Woolies. She used to display it amongst the Wade Whimsies she had.

[@theminiatureworldofkitcabo1633]

Thank you for the info makes it all come to life :)

[@rebeccastratton4114]

I love your finds! I am working on a large doll house for my reproduction french fashion doll. She is 15 inches tall and I an making her house out of an old chest of drawers. So much fun finding the right size things!

[@janellkunkle5169]

Many of the smallest cookware items I have found here in the USA are made from copper. They are called penny art, and are done by prisoners. It's called penny art because they fashioned these little pots and pans from pennies. Fun to collect. Also they did tiny carved works out of toothpicks, ships and wooden spoons.

[@fairyacorn4854]

I really enjoyed looking through that wonderful box of tiny treasures with yu two. I think I shall have to make a we willy winky candlestick for my dolls house now. The tiny material flowers, if you brush them carefully with a paintbrush and gentley steam them over a boiling kettle or sausepan they will come back into shape but only try one as the middle bit may melt . I have some of those flowers in blue and pink. Thinjk they were forget me knots.

[@helenbailey8419]

Your calm respectful attitude is so endearing.

[@gaynor3976]

Such beautiful things and what excitement revealing all those goodies in the box. Really heartwarming xx

[@theminiatureworldofkitcabo1633]

[@nowvoyagerNE]

all that tiny antique goodness, found in one unassuming box.

[@normagrimstad8869]

It’s amazing to see all the items made of the same materials-tin, iron, copper- as their real life counterparts. Such quality.

[@fairyacorn4854]

I think the picture without the backing is a powder compact and the lid is the beautiful lady with the peacock.

[@JR-yz2iy]

Very interesting! Look forward to seeing them in the doll's house, too. :)

[@ResinBelle]

Ohhh so many wonderful treasures. How exciting. Small, old things...always my favorite too. Thank you for sharing.

So tiny!!!💚💙 Favorite thing for me was the flowers 🌺😊

[@brandyyolidio4213]

What is it that makes me so incredibly excited to see miniatures like this, the smaller the item and detail the better! I just ordered a teeny tiny deck of cards that are true replicas and I cannot wait to open them and not be able to use them bc they are so freakin tiny 😆🤞🤣😂

This was so exciting! I'm getting tons of ideas! I just bought a Victorian doll house kit to build my own. I have to pick paint colors, wallpaper, carpets and rugs, and all the furniture and accessories! I'm going to try and make some of the furnishings, rugs, curtains and nick backs myself.

Oh and a hutch for the kitchen if there isn’t one. The last one you built was so lovely. I just love all the beautiful treasure you showed us 💕💕💕💕💕🎎🎎🎎🎎🎎🎎

[@kerriferguson2023]

Having been a Curator of a Museum of Childhood I would vehemently advise against such action! These items should be carefully cleaned using methods the same as museums employ and with great care. A good Museum experienced in such childhood antique preservation would advise if requested.To repaint flowers on items of this age would be tantamount to putting new bandages on an Egyptian mummy! The damage and wear is part of the history of the item and the main aim of caretakers of such items is to take steps to prevent any further deterioration, and preserve the items. and their history for future generations.

[@gracehennessey772]

@@kerriferguson2023 I can see your point if they are utilizing for a historical purpose. There are temporary paints that you can clean away if necessary. Maybe you could recommend some processes of bring some of these items back to their splendor.

[@kerriferguson2023]

@@gracehennessey772 Hello Grace. Thank you for your comment. Actually anyone who has worked in the area of antiques would already see the "splendor" in these items. The history of them, the patina, the story they tell of where they have been and how they were played with makes them quite unique as they are now. Actually I was a little unnerved by the way these items were being handled in the video (rolling them around between hands and fingers etc and listening to the clinking of the items against each other). I have the same Lines Brothers house in my own personal collection and treat her as the grand old lady she is. A pair of while cotton gloves should always be worn when dealing with items this old. Childhood antiques usually do not survive as well as other household antiques items due to the purpose they had - children played with them and sometimes quite roughly. This collection is quite unique and should be treated with great care and respect (hard to curb one's enthusiasm and excitement I know, but one has to consider how important they are!). Every item should be carefully catalogued (and if it were in my collection photographed as well!). None of us can take these items with us when we pass away and we are simply caretakers of them for the next generation and beyond. It is incumbent on us to take great care of them as they record social history for us in a special way. I would not use any temporary paints or any other product on them that changed the story they are already telling us and I am sure that any Museum Curator would agree. Good quality SOFT brushes and the most gentle of washing will be able to achieve the result that will preserve the integrity of the objects. And the most important tool will be immense patience as it is a a process that must be carried out with great patience no matter how long it takes to remove all traces of unwanted grime and dust. The nearest museum who has a collection of childhood items (especially dolls and dolls houses) should be only too happy to help with advice for these new owners.

[@gracehennessey772]

@@kerriferguson2023 I was so unaware they were so rare well I am glad you can guide them to conserve these little treasures. May be they can make some new treasures to add to these,for future generations.

Some of this stuff looks quite like the stuff in a doll's house at my parents' house which dates from the 1830s. It's a bit knackered though but a woman from the Museum of Ireland made a photographic record of it about 20 years ago.

wonder if any of those candlesticks are silver and just need polishing? Have you seen D. Thomas Miniatures channel? Seems to be a bit of an expert on artisan pieces, he may recognize some of your pieces. Or know who made them. I don't know what you paid, but I'm certain it was well worth it

Gainsborough's 'Blue Boy' recently traveled back to my place of employment after a short visit to the U.K. He has pride of place in the main gallery of what we call the HUG. He used to face 'Pinkie' - but currently faces a Kehinde Wiley painting of a 21st Century portrait of a young man.
