Mini Chinoiserie

Dollhouse Chinoiserie

 

These are all dollhouse miniatures - quite fabulous. 3D printing has incredibly expanded the world of miniatures. These Chinese Chippendale chairs also come in counter stools that I might be ordering for the kitchen for my new chinoiserie dollhouse.

Mini Needlepoint

Mini CCC Needlepoint Rug

One of my favorites in sourcing items for my new chinoiserie dollhouse has been finding fabulous miniature needlepoint rugs. I love needlepoint. Above is a beautiful handmade vintage chinoiserie blue and white needlepoint rug with Chinese dragons and Greek key border that is going in the living room.

Having Way Too Much Fun

Georgian Style Red and Gold Japanned Secretary - 1stDibs

A chinoiserie piece I have long coveted is a red and gold lacquered secretary. Fine antique versions are tens of thousands of dollars and excellent reproductions can easily be over $10,000.

The Chinoiserie Dollhouse

I have really gotten bitten by the miniatures bug since playing around with my two dollhouses recently. I have been thinking about getting a new dollhouse. My plan is of course to fill it with chinoiserie minis.

CCC

I have two dollhouses at CCC. This one above is my garden folly filled with chinoiserie. It has needlepoint rugs, Chinese porcelain, blue and white Chinese garden stools, antique textiles, all kinds of beautiful things. I understand the appeal of miniatures. When reality gets crazy, it is a wonderful escape.
