If you want detailed conditionreports on any of the item in the house or the house itself just ask. I justwant to make you aware that the contents of this house are age appropriate,have been played with and are some (not all by any means) are not perfect or in pristine condition.

Silber and Fleming were wholesalers in England that produceda catalogue for their customers. Theyhad warehouses that housed all of their merchandise. They dealt in a variety of products fromsilver items to dollhouses. This styleof dollhouse was made by local English craftsmen. There isn’t much documented history in thisarea but it is believed that there were many carpenters who made these housesin their small shops and wholesaled them to Silber and Fleming. It isn’t very often that you see two that arealike. This house may take up to 8 daysto properly pack and secure so please do not hold me to the 2 day ship that ison the listing.

I will ship to the USA only unless other arrangements are made.
