This is a rare item, an original Triang Ultra Modern Dolls House in classic Art Deco style. This house was one of a range made by Lines Bros. There are 4 sizes shown in the 1939 catalogue in this range and the No. The geometric modern range were not as popular as the traditional cottages and houses, therefore were not in production for long. However the decorative detail such as the parquet flooring, and fittings like electric bulbs, together with the simple streamlined minimalist look of the time reflects the'real' home in miniature. There is an example of this house in the V & A museum in London. You will see the house has four large rooms, metal framed windows, door leading to verandah, movable suntrap (not convinced this is original as the frame is actually wood on this but it matches really well, same with the chimney).

It is cream with green details - 107cm wide x 59.5cm high and 48cm deep. The condition is pretty good considering it is 80 years old. The cream paint looks original, the doors and window frames have possibly been repainted at some stage. All the metal window frames are intact, the'glass' is actually perspex. Love the long side window at one end running alongside the staircase.

No idea if the lights are working, you would need 2 batteries, the wiring looks intact and there are bulbs so would have thought it isn't a big job to get them working. Clearly somebody has enjoyed playing with this house as they have added curtains and a few pictures inside, I like the 3 flying ducks on the wall!

Original'parquet' paper on the floors although this is a bit marked or scraped in places, as is the base and edge of the base. Please look carefully at the pictures, i can take some more if you want or if you wanted to have a look at it you could come and view. Inside are original fireplaces, staircase etc and in the kitchen there is a fitted dresser, cooker and belfast sink. All in all its a fantastic example of a rare dolls house, really one for the serious collector!

Please look very carefully at the pictures as they constitute part of the description. We live in Worthing but i could take it to Leatherhead in Surrey if that helps.
