18th Century Baby House

Come play with LadyBug!

The 1700's were known as the Age of Elegance. The wealthy citizens had a lot of spare time and prided themselves on their elegant parties and leisure lifestyles. The pursuit of the arts and education was evidenced in their homes.

This "baby house" was produced by Bespaq exclusively for LadyBug. It was inspired by an original cabinet from the Frans Hal museum in the Netherlands.

It is an idealized version of a manor house around 1756, reflecting the home and lifestyle of its inhabitants. LadyBug created this unique structure which features architectural details such as a broken pediment, 12 mullioned windows in the front cabinet doors and 10 furnished rooms with amazing detail.

The featured rooms are a kitchen/pantry, a billiard room, the master and mistress bedrooms the library, a treasure room to show off their collections of wealth, the music/ballroom, the tea room, a servants quarters/laundry room and of course the "necessary" room. The class is 2 days and will be a jewel in your collection. Great techniques in faux painting and how to work effectively in small scale.

The cabinet is one inch scale, approx 7 1/2 in high. But is truly a stand alone piece.
