Your collection is one of the best I have seen and when I look at my miniatures I think to myself "Boy I would love to have a collection like Cookie's one day".

To this day I still take out a miniature collector magazine from years ago to look at Leicester House and The three widows.

Guess we'll never know how it was done, but that's part of the mystery of antiques! It's fun to imagine what someone did somewhere along the way. At any rate, it worked out well and I was fortunate enough to come upon it the very day I had decided to search antique stores for a cabinet. I think it means that it was meant to become a dolls house!

I lived in the Hague as a girl and visited it many times. <br />Could it be that the top of the cabinet was specially made for the older bottom coffer? It seems an extraordinarily good fit!<br />Like the 17th century houses, your cabinet house is a real work of art!Idskesminishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096142682173969377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105692722527900854.post-33924058351750417752013-11-04T16:19:11.374-05:002013-11-04T16:19:11.374-05:00This is a treasure!

It's wonderful to hear from a Dutch person that I got it right historically! I do worry about that a lot because I am pretty much a stickler for historical accuracy. It is such a pleasure to share my miniature houses with those who appreciate my research and presentation.
