    Bookcase

    Bookcase

    Bookcases became free-standing as opposed to fixtures in a room during the 17th century. By the 18th century they commonly had glazed doors. This bookcase, with glazed doors, is from the Victorian period. The top part can be made separately from the bottom cupboard.

    Size: 4 1/8 x 1 3/8 x 6 3/4


    Chest of Drawers/Changing Table

    Chest of Drawers/changing table

    By leaving off the top trim from this kit a small chest of drawers can be produced. As with the standard chest of drawers this kit works very well stained a rich mahogany or left in its natural colour.

    Size: 3 1/2 x 1 7/8 x 3 1/8
    Skill level required: Beginner.


    Chest on Frame

    Chest on Frame

    During the William and Mary period, the chest on a frame made its appearance and then developed into a chest of drawers. The chest on a frame did not last long as a furniture piece, most probably due to the difficulty of reaching into the top drawer.

    Size: 4 x 1 3/4 x 4


    Side-by-side

    Side-by-side

    A space saving combination of dressing table and wardrobe introduced in the early 1900s which immediately became very popular.

    Victorian Wardrobe

    Victorian Wardrobe

    The word wardrobe was used by Chaucer to describe a privy. In the late middle ages it became a special room where clothes were hung in lockers or stored in chests. By the time of Hepplewhite's guide of 1788, the word is used to describe a free standing, fitted cupboard for clothes. This particular wardrobe is a typical Victorian style and has a hanging rail inside.

    Jane Laverick modified this kit to become a Charles Rennie Mackintosh style wardrobe in Dolls House World, issue 66, March 1998

    Size: 4 x 1 3/8 x 6


    Victorian Wardrobe with Drawer

    Vict Wardrobe w/drawer

    The word wardrobe was used by Chaucer to describe a privy. In the late middle ages it became a special room where clothes were hung in lockers or stored in chests. By the time of Hepplewhite's guide of 1788, the word is used to describe a free standing, fitted cupboard for clothes. This particular wardrobe is a typical Victorian style. The hanging space, with its hanging rail, is slightly shorter than our other Victorian wardrobe to allow space for the opening drawer at the bottom.

    Size: 4 x 1 3/8 x 6
