The trend in dollhouses and dollhouse furniture has evolved over time. It has become dependent on what the market wants and prefers not only in terms of material and construction. For instance, it could be remembered that dollhouses and furniture have been scaled to accommodate the size of the classic doll, which became a phenomenon in the market then.
There are a number of dollhouses and dollhouse furniture that are available in different scales. Specific scales of dollhouses have become popular since the dollhouse was introduced sometime in the seventeenth century. For instance, the one inch scale dollhouse became popular in the 1970s, the German market’s 1/10th scale during the middle of the 20th century and the half scale dollhouse which gained wide popularity in the 1950’s.
