Houseworks Signatures Series Federal Collection: Executive Desk Kit #4008

Description: My sister and I both grew up furnishing, decorating and playing with dollhouses. I have always had a soft spot for tiny little things — ornate jewelry, diminutive artworks, anything you can see with a macro lens, and of course, miniatures. A few years ago I came across an enormous French Provincial dollhouse in a charity store that had been wildly abused and was missing its Mansard roof. I agonized, hemmed and hawed and ended up bringing it home after barely fitting it into the back of the station wagon. Now, here I am, buried in projects and the dollhouse has seen little improvement. In retrospect, it was quite quixotic of me to embrace such an undertaking. So, here we are, cleaning house and giving up stuff. While I can’t re-home the house (much too large to ship), I can re-home the furniture and kits. This Executive Desk kit was part of the Signatures Series, Federal Collection, "Precision Crafted Wooden Kits" by Houseworks, Ltd. The collection featured miniature kits representing several distinct styles prominent in the Federal period.The company announced its products with the following: “It is with great pride that we offer the first twelve kits in this collection, beginning with the gun cabinet. Future selections include the beautiful Federal Bedroom Suite, Hepplewhite/Duncan Phyfe Dining Room Suite and other period pieces. Twenty-eight additional designs are being created and developed for a complete ensemble previously unavailable in kits or any other market. From the onset we knew that a collection such as this must be exciting and unique. To insure this we commissioned one of the world's foremost miniatures artisans, Tony Jones, to research and design these exquisite pieces. In order to be sure the quality and engineering were unmatched, we had them manufactured under the supervision of jimmy Wang. Jimmy, often thought of within the trade as the "Father of Modern Miniatures", has also brought us The House of Miniatures, Shenandoah, and other fine products. The Signature Series Furniture Kits offer a standard of excellence previously unavailable. Whether you are beginning your collection or adding to an existing one, you will immediately recognize the quality and craftmanship of these fine pieces. You owe yourself the pleasure of building and finishing these beautiful museum quality pieces of furniture.”The Executive Desk Kit: The kit was manufactured in 1992 in Thailand.
