EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph showcases the exquisite interior of Titania's Boudoir, a room in the most valuable dolls house, or miniature castle, ever created. Known as Titanias Palace, this masterpiece was crafted by Sir Nevile Wilkinson and his team of skilled artisans, taking an impressive 15 years to complete in 1922. At the time of this photograph, taken in the 1970s, the dolls house was claimed to be the world's most expensive, with its intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. The ceiling of Titania's Boudoir is adorned with intricate gold leaf designs, while the walls are adorned with rich velvet fabric and delicate floral patterns. The room is furnished with elegant furniture, including a grand four-poster bed, a vanity table, and a seating area with a plush sofa and armchair. The windows, with their intricately designed frames and delicate curtains, let in natural light, adding to the room's warm and inviting atmosphere. Titanias Palace was a true labor of love and a testament to the art of miniature craftsmanship. After being auctioned at Sothebys in 1978, the valuable dolls house found a permanent home at Egeskov Castle in Denmark, where it continues to be admired by visitors from around the world. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to the opulence and elegance of the 1920s, a time when attention to detail and craftsmanship were of the utmost importance.
