    Wood and Marbles

    The Sahlberg is a captivating masterpiece of execution, a dollhouse with nine rooms. Jimmy Landers built it from hardwood. Inside there is a two-storey library, an impressive staircase, a living room, two bedrooms and a dining room. The floors are made of mahogany wood and marble (the one located at the entrance consists of over 2000 tiles).

    Own Lighting

    There are 22 individual lamps instaled in the whole house. What is interesting, they have traditional light bulbs and light all the rooms without difficulty (the building has its own electrical installation). However, a large-sized brass chandelier is the first to be seen.

    Books All The Way up to The Ceiling

    The most impressive is the panelled library. It is equipped with bookcases, a fireplace and animal antlers. Volumes located high under the ceiling can be accessed by means of a ladder. Jimmy Landers constructed the floor from more than 3,000 cherry tree planks.

    The dollhouse is a Victorian style and can be bought for a small sum of USD 100 000. Jimmy Landers worked on it for two years. He is currently working on another project and spends on average 18 hours a day in his studio.
