Condition
Overall excellent for age; all dolls and furnishings included.
Some fragile gilt scrollwork has chipped in areas (front edges, top corners, orchestra pit).
Back wall has a fine crack (lower left).
Pillars and cherubs show slightly different coloration than stage (factory finish).
Minor paint drips, glue overflow, and natural handmade imperfections.
Lights tested and working; music box winds and plays.
A true showpiece for serious collectors of vintage German dollhouses and miniatures — combining Rudolf Szalasi’s craftsmanship with Erna Meyer’s collectible dolls. Rare to find complete and in working condition.
