Infusing her sensibility into every detailfrom the Limoges vases in the chintz bedroom to the crystaltrimmed candelabra in the salonCarrie Walter Stettheimer (18691944) wove together the fashion and style of New York's high society in the early twentieth century to create one of the finest dollhouses in the world. Stettheimer worked on the twelveroom dollhouse for nearly two decades, creating many of the furnishings and decorations by hand. Styles of decoration vary from room to room, yet the wallpapers, furniture, and fixtures are all characteristic of the period following World War I. The result is a magnificent work of art, now in the permanent collection of the Museum of the City of New York.What may be the most astounding aspect of the Stettheimer Dollhouse is its oneofakind art gallery, featuring miniature works from renowned avantgarde artists of the 1920s. Along with her mother and two sistersFlorine, a painter whose works are in many major museum collections, and Ettie, a writerStettheimer hosted grand soires attended by contemporary artists, including Alexander Archipenko, Marcel Duchamp, and Gaston Lachaise, who presented her with miniature works for her dollhouse. The Stettheimer Dollhouse showcases all the works created especially for the dollhouse, including Duchamp's threeinch version of Nude Descending a Staircase.Each artist in the collection is profiled, while descriptions and color photographs of each room in the dollhouse offer an intimate tour of this delightful masterpiece.
