Titania's Palace (Northern Facade) - Dollshouse

Titania's Palace (Northern Facade) - designed by Sir Nevile Wilkinson - made of old mahogany with oak pillars and takes apart in eight sections for ease of transportation. Seen with Grey Fairy the royal motor car of Fairyland. Titania's Palace is a miniature castle (Dollhouse) that was hand-built in Ireland by James Hicks and Sons, Irish Cabinet Makers, commissioned by Sir Nevile Wilkinson from 1907 to 1922. In the early 1930s, Wilkinson loaned the Palace to the NSPCC, who exhibited the item around the country, in an effort to raise funds. While exhibited in Croydon, the Palace was visited by 4, 882 people, and lead to over £150 (a sum equivalent to approximately £10, 000 in 2017 prices) being donated to the Croydon Branch of the NSPCC
