Description: OOAK Miniature Dollhouse Marcia Backstrom Victorian Kitchen Ghost Doll Diorama Welcome to the Magpie's Manor of Miniatures! Explore the Magpie's haunted attic and discover our treasure trove of creepy, curious, and collectible miniatures. These one-of-a-kind pieces are perfect for adding a spooky touch to your Halloween decor collection. Meet Eleanor, the eternal sentinel of the Victorian kitchen. This haunting yet captivating dollhouse diorama, crafted by the late renowned miniature artist Marcia Backstrom, is a masterpiece that will leave viewers spellbound. Eleanor, a ghostly woman, sits tall and proud, her ethereal form draped in layers of antique white fabric and lace. Her skin, an opaque white, reveals the delicate lines of age, adding to her haunting allure. With her waist-length wavy snow-white tresses and a piercing gaze that seems to penetrate the soul, Eleanor is a figure of both beauty and mystery. Forever frozen in time, Eleanor is perched atop her old-fashioned wooden cabinet, its surface dusted with the patina of age. Lace-edged shelves hold a collection of antique canning jars, a testament to her dedication to domestic duties. Eleanor, the ghostly guardian of the kitchen, is a captivating addition to any dollhouse collection. Her presence is both haunting and comforting, a reminder of the past that lingers on even in the most ordinary of places. THIS DIORAMA HAS TRAVELED THOUSANDS OF MILES JUST TO BE HERE...READ ITS STORY. *This fabulous miniature doll belonged to, Madame 'Y', who lives in Kanagawa, Japan. For many years I have enjoyed a friendship with Madam Y. Her love of miniatures and her vast knowledge of artisans was something that we enjoyed talking about. Over the years I watched in awe as her collection continuously grew, she even had to expand her beautiful home on the sea just to house her collection of some of the finest miniatures in the world. When she decided to sell her collection, she contacted me so that I could tell her story and the story of each piece she has acquired, over all these years. Her hope is to find a home and share the story of every single piece. We have just begun to receive the boxes, all wrapped so well as they were all very special to her. She wanted others to know these incredible artisans, many she has met in person, from countries all over the globe and it is her hope that you will get to know them too, as we list them one by one. We thank Madame Y for trusting us, it is an honor to share them with others who love artisan miniatures as much as we do.
