This unique baby house is believed to have been made for the daughters of George III who may have even played with it at Kew Palace, where it now resides. 

With the opening of Kew Palace to the public in March 2006, curators wanted to display this beautiful and historic object. 

Conservators began work in September 2005 to repair structural elements of the house, surface clean it and reattach some of the wallpaper and paint finishes. 

At the same time, our textile conservators carried out conservation of the contents including beds, dolls and chairs.
