By Jill Lynne Ness Factors most collectors look for include the material from which the dollhouse is made, size, age and condition, and scale. Although many miniaturists collect plastic or metal dollhouses, wood seems to be the preferred material. Custom wood dollhouses are the most valuable because of their uniqueness. Like any antique or collectible, age and condition also influence value.
Scale is almost always important to a collector, unless the dollhouse is for a young child.
In some cases, these smaller scales can be harder to find and more valuable. In miniatures, factors influencing value are much the same as dollhouses, but they vary among collectors.
