Antique Handicrafts A58 dolls house manufactured from 1923-1939.
Seller’s comments:
A58 first appeared in the Handicrafts catalogue in 1923. Handicrafts was founded in London in 1907 by Frank Skinner. Frank had previously worked in partnership with his brother John Skinner at Hobbies Ltd founded in 1895 in Dereham Norfolk. Following a family feud Frank set up on his own. John sued Frank twice and won both cases. The first case was for stealing intellectual property when Frank left Hobbies. The second case was for lying by stating that all of his products were British when if fact some were imported from Germany.
All the fretwork furniture in this house is hand made by Mitya Kabak of Moscow in 2013.
