Welcome to my auction. My name is Celia Mayfield. I started designing and making my own miniatures in 1986 and spent the next 20 years selling my dolls’ house furniture, dolls and accessories at miniatures shows and through mail order. In 2006 I began making reborn dolls. However, I have, in the last few years, taken up making miniature people again. I also love dolls’ houses in all scales and the tiny 1/48th scale room box in this auction is the result. This scale is also known as quarter scale. This miniature room box is developed from a kit by Gayle of Petworth Miniatures. The room box walls are quite sumptuous: they have been papered with a blue toile de Jouy paper with white panel overlay. The ceiling is decorated in the same way. The room has a ceiling light over the bed, powered by a battery, on the back of the box The battery is a coin type lithium cell #CR2032 and readily available. One is included in this auction. Please see all the pictures as they are a large part of the description. You will see the battery holder and wiring in one of the pictures. It is suggested that when you need to change the battery, you do not push it all the way into the holder, only as far as is necessary to power the light. I have included pictures with a ruler to show the measurements and also one with the box in my hand for comparison. I have shown 2 pictures with the room furnished. This listing is for the room box ONLY. The music items shown are available in a separate listing at the time of setting up these auctions. All my miniatures are the result of 35 years making and selling dolls' house furniture and dolls at miniatures shows around the UK and through mail order, fuelled by a lifetime's love of dolls and all things miniature. This room box was made in a smoke free and pet free home. These are collectors' items and are not suitable for children as small parts present a choking hazard. I only charge 1 lot of shipping no matter how many items are purchased. A refund will be given after purchase.
