The Stettheimer Dollhouse;

Carrie Walter Stettheimer (American, 18691944) wove together the fashion and style of New Yorks high society in the early twentieth century to create one of the finest dollhouses in the world. Stettheimer worked on the twelve-room dollhouse for nearly two decades, creating many of the furnishings and decorations by hand. Styles of decoration vary from room to room, yet the wallpapers, furniture, and fixtures are all characteristic of the period following World War I.
