The Dollhouse Castle

The Dollhouse Castle is (excerpt from their website) an incredible one of a kind masterpiece valued (and officially appraised) at well over $1 million. It is a work of art unparalleled in the area of miniatures and miniature structures. It is 100% handcrafted in a 1” to 1’ scale and stands a grand 9 feet high (not including the base), is over 5 feet wide, and weighs about 600 pounds. The quality, depth, and attention to detail are so realistic that a photo (no matter how high quality) gives no clue that in fact, the photo is of a miniature. Each photo looks as if it is of an actual full size room. The level of detail ranks it as one of the finest miniature structures in the world today. It contains many thousands of pieces that were built, commissioned, or purchased to the highest standards. It must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

Look's like someone's finally invented the shrinking machine.
Very impressive, a work of love.

Wow thanks for sharing that Tombstone, that has to be one of the most amazing and beautiful things I have ever seen!! The attention to detail is astonishing, and you can clearly see all the hard work and dedication that was given to get the house finished. Sure would be a fantastic sight to see in real life.

Re: The Dollhouse Castle

*bringing over my barbie doll*
Now I have a real castle for her!

It is a very beautiful piece of art, Tombstone, I wonder what their real house must look like?
