Victorian dollhouse

Ornate tiny residence

A Victorian dollhouse is a miniature replica of a house in the ornate style of the Victorian era (roughly 1837–1901), typically featuring multiple stories, elaborate trim, and detailed furnishings.

These dollhouses range from children's toys to serious collector pieces with painstaking craftsmanship: She spent years furnishing her Victorian dollhouse with handmade miniatures.

The term also describes full-sized houses built or decorated in this fussy, cluttered aesthetic.
