Provenance Ordered, made for and furnished by Miss Elizabeth 'Bessie' Wilkinson (died 1857) of Aston Hall, Birmingham. By descent, to her nephew Henry Gregson 1857 who lived at Moorlands. By descent, to Annie Canon-Cox Little. By descent, to her daughter Lady Wenlock until about 1957 of Knockin Hall, Oswestry, Shropshire. Thence by family descent, until 2010 when sold by private treaty to the present vendor, a family friend. Elizabeth 'Bessie' Wilkinson was the scion of a great iron making dynasty being daughter of William Wilkinson (1744 - 1808) and niece of John 'IronMad' Wilkinson (1728 - 1808) most famous for instigating the famous Ironbridge in Coalbrookdale in the 1770's and who both had interests in iron works in North Wales and Shropshire. Both were tied in with Matthew Boulton senior and James Watt seniors' business making boilers in Birmingham. On the death of their father William in 1808 'Bessie' and her sister Mary Anne were made guardians of James Watt junior (1769 - 1848) who from about 1817 until his death leased and lived at the fine Jacobean prodigy house Aston Hall in Birmingham; ancestral home of the Holte family, it is listed Grade I and now owned and run as a museum by Birmingham City Corporation. 'Bessie's' sister Mary Anne had on 24th February 1817 married Matthew Robinson Boulton (1770 - 1842), only son of the great 18th century entrepreneur Matthew Boulton (1728 - 1809) who was also a member of the Lunar society and manufacturer of small metal trinkets, ormolu, silverware and in conjunction with James Watt senior of the steam engines that revolutionised industrial Britain. Mary Anne and Matthew Boulton lived at Soho House in Birmingham, built by his father to designs by Samuel and James Wyatt - the latter also providing designs for silver ware to Boulton senior. The fine Georgian house still exists as a museum run by the council. Mary Anne Boulton sadly died in childbirth on 7th June 1829, leaving seven children and a new born baby girl who was also named Mary. It was this tragedy that precipitated the creation of this wonderful doll's house to help her little nieces and nephews recover from this great sadness by their maiden aunt Elizabeth 'Bessie' Wilkinson. The doll's house was originally called 'Maryland Lodge' after her sister and baby niece. The house itself was possibly made for Aunt Bessie by estate carpenters but is fine enough to have been supplied by a more sophisticated cabinet maker. The nieces visited nearby Aston Hall where Aunt Bessie lived and between the years 1830 and 1850 they worked on it together collecting items, making some of the furniture and Aunt Bessie herself painted the watercolours and worked the carpet in the drawing room. Aunt Bessie died in 1857. Her sister Mary Anne is commemorated in a fine monument by Sir Francis Chantrey R. A. at St Michael's Church, Great Tew, Oxfordshire where the Boultons had their country estate. The contents of Great Tew House were sold by Sotheby's in 1987 and included furniture supplied by George Bullock who had also supplied furniture to James Watt junior. Bullock's associated cabinet maker and designer Richard Bridgens was furnishing Aston Hall from the 1820's onwards from his Birmingham workshop. Exhibited At No. 1, Royal Crescent Bath c.1985/6. Literature Vivien Greene, Family Dolls' Houses, pp.101-106 where the 'Gregson House' is discussed in detail and illustrated. Catalogue Note This remarkable doll's house has not only a fantastic provenance and has never been on the open market before, it is also in remarkably good and original condition with its original contents, the main reason being (according to family repute) 'no child has ever been allowed to play with it'. Doll's houses or 'Baby Houses' were originally conversation pieces of wealthy adults with the earliest examples dating from the 16th century. They were not meant to be used as toys, but as items of wonder of a world in miniature or sometimes as an educational tool. Vivien Greene (wife of Grahame Greene the famous author) in her book 'Family Doll's Houses' of 1973 wrote that the Gregson House was a 'splendid example of a 'cupboard house'. She thought the Still Room was unique in her experience 'and it is a delight to survey the ranges of built-in cupboards, curved round the room, some filled with china'.
