Here is my English Amersham dollhouse. I am not 100% sure that it is an Amersham so I would appreciate hearing from other collectors to see if they can help me determine who made this warm and vintage house. I have always loved the muted tones of the house itself and the painted floral vines add even more charm!
Mr. Toi loves wiping down his 1931 car before taking it out for a Sunday drive however he hates taking out the trash! Mrs. Toi loves her window boxes! The exterior of this house appears to be all original. At some point I wondered if the cream color next to the roof peak timbers had been repainted but I've never been able to decide. The red roof is original paint and the dark timbers seem original. Any ideas?

  1. Hi Louise, Yes, those are Amersham windows, and Roberta Snape has the same green wallpaper in one of her Amersham houses. Yours is gorgeous!

  2. Thank you...thank you Rebecca! I love those detailed windows! How cottage-like and cozy! Thanks for the lovely comment. I too have always enjoyed this house. The tucked-away upstairs room over the garage is frustrating...you can only peek into the upstairs window and stretch your fingers from the bedroom to the bathroom fixtures in this little room. Too bad a side opening door wasn't made to let us "play" inside that room! Wonderful to hear from you again Rebecca! Louise
