Miniature Room
« Previous Main Next »
A tiny miniature room (12H x 16W x 8D inches). This 'room' is made from wood but all the furniture is hand made wrought silver. The story has it that this was a project for a silversmith to graduate into the silversmith guild. Circa 1930.
My parents brought this with them when they immigrated from Holland in 1953.
At Christmas my wife, Jeanne, decorates it a bit so the imaginary family living in that little room has the Christmas touch.

This is great...perfect for the season. You handled the lighting very well in capturing this too. Everything is evenly lit and naturally exposed. Well done.
