You did an incredible job of filming this! I don't think I could have seen all that detail even standing in front of it. I love the opal inlay that was sprinkled throughout the house!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. I do agree that sometimes it is easier to pick up on details when you're looking at a photo or watching a video. Especially with houses like these where there is so much going on in each room...
Thank you!! I'm delighted by this doll's house, which I didn't know about before - and very impressed with your ability to give us good images in spite of the glass. What a joyful moment in my day!
The video turned out well considering the glass, I managed a good focus. Good observation with the vacuum Mrs Fairy supervisor 😄Amazing pieces, the glass striped cups and saucers in the Queens room and of course the miniature miniatures. Thank you so much, really your camera work very good.
You did an amazing job filming this GORGEOUS dollhouse, even with the troubling reflection. Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to get such great shots of every area! This was such a treat for me! I'm not that familiar with the styles from this area but I LOVE the styles represented in this dollhouse. It's European but it also seems to have almost a Mediterranean or middle eastern feel to some of the items. Such beautiful style and amazing taste. So many different colors and shapes and yet it all flows so nicely. I'm also very impressed with the taste and talent of the father that made this for his daughter. All of the wood, ornate carvings and intricate dishes and items and special fairy touches like the beads in the doorway. Loved the wallpaper of the animals running around the room in the kids room.... just so many things I loved I'll have to watch this again. I really respect the craftsmanship it took to make these miniatures and this dollhouse. Thanks again Josje! Another wonderful video :)
You're so welcome! When this dolls' house was created, in the first quarter of the 20th century, interiors, especially those of artists, often had an eclectic feel to them with influences from other cultures. Your observation about the Mediterranean and middle eastern items is entirely correct. There are many items collected from all over the world in the house! I've only managed to show you a small amount of all the wonders of the house. It is spectacular! Thank you, Rebekah! 😃
Thank you Josje for this wonderful video. I had almost forgotten that I had seen Titania's palace when I was a little boy visiting Legoland on a summer vacation with my parents in the early 1990s. It was after we had spend an exhausting day at Legoland, my parents were tired and wanted to leave, but for me it was the highlight of the entire day and I refused to leave until I had seen all the tiny treasures. Maybe it was then that my love for miniatures was born. I remember the handwritten bible and the stunning secretary desk and a family of tiny carved ivory elephants. These special pieces had been taken out of the house and were shown in small glass cases along the walls of the exebition room, maybe that's why I still remember them so clearly. I'm exitedly looking forward to part 2 of your tour.
You're welcome! Those are wonderful memories. Although many years later, I also saw it at Legoland for the first time, when my son was young. I remember those glass cases around the room. And I also remember those carved ivory elephants in there!
Beautiful video of a beautiful fairy house! I kept thinking about the move from Legoland to this castle and wondering how long it would have taken to pack everything and know where to put it back, so that it was just right! (With the exception of the vacuum cleaner🙃) Thank you, Josje, also for the promise of a Part 2!
Thank you Idske! I read somewhere that the house had been made with the intention of displaying it in exhibits to raise money for children in need. The house had to be taken apart and put back together relatively easily and it could be done by two men. I also read somewhere that the house is cleaned every year and it takes two people two full weeks to do that. I imagine packing things up for transport would take even longer!
It's all pretty incredible especially the Micro mini Qn.Mary's Palace; and who doesn't love it! yet methinks that despite her father's promise to build her a doll's house, his poor daughter probably never got a chance to play with it! 😉
Thank you so much for sharing this. It truly is a palace full of treasures. I have also seen Tara’s Palace at Powerscourt in Ireland which was commissioned to replace Tatiana’s. I believe it ( tatianas, was once there), but Ireland was outbid by Denmark when it was sold.
You are so welcome! Yes, in 1978 the LEGO company won the bidding war for Titania's Palace at the Christies Auction. The underbidder was Irish. The Museum of Childhood shares the story on its website: taraspalace.ie/tara%E2%80%99s-palace/
Thank you so much. My favorite vlogger! I appreciate your level of talent and sharing with us. I recently have been collecting minature furniture making books from the 70s and 80s because the craftsmanship is difficult to find themselves days. And you share the fine craftsmanship with us. I treasure your channel.
Wow, thank you Tara! That's so kind of you! Yes, old books are great. I also like full-scale furniture-making books as you can often easily scale down and use techniques on miniature projects as well. 😃
Such a beautiful house. What a lovely father to make a dollshouse for his daughter. My father made us one in the 50's with lights, it was a swiss chalet style. In some ways I didn't appreciate it when I was a child, but I would love to have it now. Thanks for the visit, will await Part 2. xxx
Well, as children we don't really see the value of such gifts, but you probably enjoyed playing with it, and I'm sure that is all your father wanted. I can imagine you would love to still have it. Thanks Marilyn!
I am a new subscriber with a library of books on miniatures. I do have a book on this one. So much more joy to see it on video with your talented eye and expert narration. Ty so much.
Que bello de verdad felicitacioes a esos verdaderos artistas del miniarurismo me encanta son cosas tan reales pero en miniaturas que bello de verdad me encanta deleitan mis pupilas con tan bellas obras del miniaturismo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Exquisite! And to think it was all hand made, no 3D printing, laser cutting, scanners or even power tools. The veneer the makers used must be paper thin. It boggles the mind as to how they managed to produce some of those minute pieces. BTW the music you chose was a the perfect accompaniment for our special tour. Heartfelt thanks Josje.
You're welcome Coby. I thought the same. Everything made by hand. And none of the easy access to sources which we have today. In the video I could only just let you all sniff at the exquisite craftsmanship and art that's in the dollshouse. It really is a stunning dollshouse.
Thank you for both creating the video and sharing it. I appreciate it must have been a challenge to film it through the protective glass. Regards, Jill.
Yes it was! But I'm glad you're allowed to film and take photos of it so at least I could show you a little bit of this fabulous dolls' house. Thank you Jill! 😃
@@MakeMiniatures Hi again Josje, I would live to share a link to your wonderful Titania's palace videos on my channel (@miniaturetimetraveller), but don't want to do it without checking you are OK with that? Regards, Jill.
Amazing! My favorite so far was the Queens Boudoir! Did you happen see the spider hanging from the ceiling in the day nursery? Yikes! Probably not a part of the display!?😵
I like the Queen's Boudoir too! Haha, the spider in the Day Nursery is part of the display, it's a little silver spider. After all, this is the home of Fairies, so it is to be expected to see one or two of these creatures around 😉
Imagine being 7 years old and your father says he's going to build you a doll castle for fairies... but it's not done till you're in your 20s and it's not actually for you at all 😢
Gorgeous dollhouse. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤
You're so welcome! Thank you 🤗
Yes it was amazing! Thank you so much for taking us to see it! The Castle is beautiful, and to Titania’s Palace is just breathtaking.
It was my pleasure, Jen! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
I always appreciate your careful video work and lovely descriptions. Thank you again. J
You're welcome Janine. Thank you!
Oh to see it again. MASTERPIECE. Thanks for the adventure.
My pleasure! 😃
Thank you, Josje, for taking us along to see this priceless work of art!
My pleasure! Good to hear you enjoyed it, Beth. It truly is a work of art!
Thank you so much for doing this tour with us, what an exquisite dollhouse❤
You are so welcome! Yes, exquisite is the right word! 😃
Wow, that is really something to aspire to! Wonderful, thanks for sharing!

You are so welcome! Ha, you noticed the bead curtain. I thought that was a curious feature, but fun. 😃
Merci Josje!
De rien! 😃
A lovely tour! Thank you so very much. It is easy to see the grandeur- you filmed it well.
Many thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for showing this work of art ❤❤😊

Breathtaking. It fills me simultaneously with feelings of joy and of longing.
Isn't it? I can so understand those feelings Tara. 😃

@coby9896 I agree! I was gazing at the amazing items and completely amazed by the details !

Hi Josje!!! do you know if Trees Beertema lists her marble in a site? The Unicornia one is down. Thanks!
I'm very sorry to tell you that sadly Trees passed away suddenly in March.
Imagine being 7 years old and your father says he's going to build you a doll castle for fairies... but it's not done till you're in your 20s and it's not actually for you at all 😢
Haha, yes! But I expect she probably had a dolls' house to play with as well.
I just found your channel, and I am so thankful to see this magnificent palace. Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it! Did you see part two as well? 😃
