Window Moon Magazine X Dollhouses
Dollhouses have a fascinating history! The earliest known examples date back to ancient Egypt, where small replicas of homes and belongings were placed in tombs for religious purposes. However, the dollhouses we recognize today originated in 16th-century Europe. These were called "baby houses" and were handcrafted miniature display cases filled with detailed furnishings. They were primarily made for wealthy adults to showcase their taste and lifestyle, rather than for children's play.
Isn't it interesting how something that started as a status symbol evolved into a beloved toy?
