EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Dolls House, created by Petronella Oortman in Amsterdam around 1676, is a remarkable survival from the Dutch Golden Age. Petronella Dunois, the wealthy young woman who commissioned this miniature masterpiece, was born in 1650 and married in 1671. The intricately detailed house, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Holland, is a testament to the high status and refined tastes of the Dutch elite during this period. Measuring just 48 centimeters high, the dollhouse is made primarily of cedar, oak, walnut, ebony, and peat, with decorative elements in silver and veneered wood. The exterior is adorned with intricate carvings and detailed brickwork, while the interior reveals a series of beautifully furnished rooms, including a kitchen, dining room, reception room, nursery, and a loft. Each room is filled with meticulously crafted furniture, textiles, and accessories, reflecting the latest European styles of the time. The dining room, for example, features a long oak table set with linen tablecloth and silverware, while the kitchen is equipped with a working oven and other utensils. The nursery is furnished with a cradle and other baby essentials, while the loft contains a bed and storage chest. Petronella's dolls house was not just a toy, but a status symbol and a reflection of the owner's wealth and taste. It is believed that Petronella may have used the dollhouse as a way to plan the decoration of her own future home or as a hobby to pass the time while her husband was away on business. Today, the Dolls House of Petronella Dunois stands as an important historical object, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of the Dutch elite during the 17th century.
