Doll Furniture

Complete Your Collection with Doll Furniture

Remember back to the days of childhood, when you got your very first dollhouse? The excitement was intense and the desire to fill it with all sorts of great doll furniture was overwhelming. Of course your doll needed a big bed to sleep in, a pretty couch to sit on and a large table to serve tea from. Don’t forget a bathtub and vanity for beauty treatments, and a kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, cabinets, and a stove to prepare delicious food with. A doll house wasn’t just a place for your doll to be until it was furnished.

Depending on your doll house there are all sorts of great doll furniture available. For rugged use and play there’s sturdy plastic furniture. Bright colors and fun shapes abound. Modern cube-style plastic furniture adds a funky look.

For a doll house that is a showplace for collectibles there is gorgeous wooden furniture, often with period details and working parts. Porcelain sinks and tubs with faucet handles that actually turn are often paired with fine wood doll furniture.

Miniature doll furniture is a whole world unto itself. Loved by collectors, miniatures are often highly detailed and intricately made. Hand-crafted miniature furniture is often admired as a fine work of art. Displays of miniature furniture abound in doll and toy museums and even if you aren’t a collector, you have to admire the skill and detail of miniature doll furniture.

Even famous designers have gotten in on the craze and have created designer doll furniture. Creative designs, bright colors, and patterns that coordinate with the decor of the doll house are often trademarks of doll furniture created by designers.

From fine pieces to funky plastics, doll furniture is a fabulous part of the world of dolls.

Vintage and antique doll furniture is enjoying a resurgence in popularity. Most antique pieces are delicately handcrafted and well made, and are well worth the investment. Vintage pieces made from hard-to-find materials such as bakelite are great finds.

Doll furniture created for certain dolls such as Barbie, Strawberry Shortcake, or Raggedy Ann is a perennial favorite. Collecting complete sets can be a fun challenge. Surprising a young child with a new set of furniture for her doll house can be pure joy.

Handcrafted doll furniture is a special way to add to a doll house or collection. A loving touch in the creation of the pieces and the fact that each piece is unique add to the sentimental value of the furniture.

Whether you are completing a collection, creating a dollhouse display, or furnishing a dollhouse for an excited child, doll furniture is an important part of the wonderful world of dolls and collectibles.
