Victorian Kitchen Range & Fireplace Accessories

"The Phoenix Kitchener" Victorian Kitchen Range

I have added some new products to my Etsy shop.  They are made up from kits supplied by Phoenix Model Developments & Warwick Miniatures who produce white metal and lead free pewter kits in the UK.

I have assembled and hand painted them and added coal to the fires.  The kitchen range was very fiddly.  They also make a 1/24th scale version and that must be really tricky to put together as some of the pieces are very small!

The products are highly detailed and I think are very good replicas of real products available at the time.

Other items available are two different coal scuttles suitable for either Georgian or Victorian fireplaces and a Georgian style grate for your fireplace.  All are supplied with real coal.

The coal scuttle with shovel is available on my website here

Royal Mail Prices Increase this month...

In case anyone has missed the announcement, Royal Mail are increasing their postal prices quite significantly at the end of this month.

On the 30th April a 1st class stamp will increase to 60p and a second class stamp will increase to 50p!

Unfortunately, as a result of this I will have to increase prices on my website from the 30th April, because the increases are too big for me to absorb.

Full details can be found here: Royal Mail Prices 2012


This is a summary of the price increases from the Royal Mail website:

Our stamp prices are increasing from 30 April 2012:

• 1st Class stamps for letters weighing up to 100g will increase from 46p to 60p

Georgian Fireplace gets an upgrade...

Georgian Fireplace with hob grate and coal fire

After a bit of trial and error with the prototype I have upgraded my Georgian Fireplace to a working fireplace with metal hob grate and real coal fire.

It is lit with an LED bulb which gives it a very effective glowing embers look - the photo doesn't really do it justice!

LED's are very bright, last thousands of hours and produce virtually no heat making them perfect for miniature fireplaces.  No worrying about replacing the bulb or dodgy connections though I do hate those little plugs for the socket strips.  Fiddly to wire up and the connections always seem a bit dodgy, but they work I guess.  It's designed for a standard 12v supply.

The fireplace is available as a self assembly kit or as a ready made fireplace.  The small hob grate is also available separately if you already have a fireplace.

New Product - Real Wood Tiles

Last weekend I added a new product to my webshop.  Real wood tiles in 5 colours which can be mixed and matched to create a stunning floor for your dolls house.   Lots of patterns can be created using a mix of complimentary colours or stick to one colour  - either way you will create a beautiful and sophisticated floor.

The tiles come in various pack sizes and you can mix and match the colours - just let me know what you would like.  They are just 1/16th thick and 1/2" square but other sizes are available on request.
