This very pretty dolls house, circa 1930s Dolly Mixture Dolls house, has just gone up for sale.
The "Dolly Mixture" name was given to a group of dolls houses, manufactured from the 1930s right through to the 1950s, possibly 1960s. All bear similarities. The name "Dolly Mixture" was used by Marion Osborne in her A-Z of Dolls Houses book many years ago...and the name has stuck ever since.
There is stencilled foilage up the frontage and two sides which is very attractive indeed.
Also the pre-war 1930s early Romside tin windows with rods down each
side and no butterfly handles (later versions had butterfly handles and
tab hinges) are all present and correct which is refreshing.
This version has four rooms, a central staircase and garage.Although the exterior is completely original, the interior has been re-decorated. So whoever takes this on can have great fun decorating inside.
There are signs of water damage on the back exterior and back roof but nothing too detrimental and is all hidden from view.

I am NOT going to let Grandpa Roland see this one. One day, he can buy a second house on Dolly Mixture Lane but he hasn't paid the mortgage off on his current project yet, lol.
This is a little beauty though, Celia. I'm really drawn to the Dolly Mixtures and we may have a whole street of them eventually. I blame you and Robin.... I'm hooked on the idea of housing a community of Robin's little people!
It is rather lovely isn't it! Hahaha...what are you like Jenni! Celia
