I'd appreciate it if you could help me
This doll's house is not a child's plaything. It was made at great expense and is completely for adults.It is said to have been made by a French-born craftsman who worked in Amsterdam, Holland. Commissioned by Petronella Oortman, the wife of a wealthy merchant.
Each piece of furniture is made to exact scale, based on actual pieces of furniture. The dollhouse's shiny outer frame is made from pewter, a tin-based metal, and tortoise shell. The Chinese porcelain displayed in the kitchen was specially ordered by Petronella from the Dutch East India Company in China. The linen hanging in the top left room has her initials woven into it.Because everything is so precisely made, this dollhouse gives us a glimpse of what life was really like for the wealthy in 17th century Europe.The dollhouse cost 30,000 Florentines, which was about the same as an actual house in Amsterdam at the time.
