Victorian Bedroom – Quarter Scale

Nina Fair , 2020

A Victorian bedroom that is only quarter scale (1:48) is housed in a small glass-fronted shadowbox.  I have probably mixed the scale a little bit in here, in that the fireplace is half-scale, but it does create a grand room, befitting of that era’s style.  I tried my hand at making a tiny-scale bed from a kit, and it actually turned out quite nice, albeit with some super glue stuck to my fingers.  I purchased the other pieces of furniture from a Canadian company, and added jewelry findings and beads as accessories.  You may also notice that there is a tiny cat sleeping in front of the fireplace.  And there is spongeware bowl by Jane Graber, which is also not 1:48 scale, but it fits right into the scene.

Because of the way the shadowbox is constructed, I had to fasten a few of the pieces onto the front section and the rest on the back. The last photo in the gallery shows that.
