EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Dolls house of Petronella Dunois, a remarkable piece created in 1676. Crafted from wood and now housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this dollhouse is a testament to the opulence and creativity of its time. Commissioned for Petronella Dunois, an affluent orphan who resided with her sister in Amsterdam, this miniature marvel offers a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle enjoyed by the elite during the 17th century. The attention to detail is astounding as every room within this dollhouse has been meticulously furnished and decorated. In this particular photograph, we are transported to the dining room of Petronella's dollhouse. The table is set elegantly with tiny porcelain plates and silver cutlery. Intricate tapestries adorn the walls while delicate chandeliers cast a warm glow over the scene. It is evident that no expense was spared in creating this miniature masterpiece. Beyond just being a plaything for children, these elaborate dolls houses were considered status symbols among wealthy families at that time. They served as both entertainment pieces and educational tools for young girls to learn about household management and social etiquette. The Dolls house of Petronella Dunois stands as a testament to craftsmanship, wealth, and historical significance. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only its beauty but also gain insight into life during one of history's most fascinating eras.
