Was models of coffins and undertakers workshops ever a big thing?

Apart from the box in the middle of the room, that sort of workshop would suit me down to the ground.. maybe full size though!

That's beautiful work  One just hopes that person is working on the right chandelier otherwise.  I cannot resist (it would make a good automata piece though):

I took them last week at Leonardslee Gardens near Horsham, West Sussex where they have a dolls house museum. They apparently let a local club run model boats there too. We will make a return visit as there is a lot to see there and the dolls house museum is worth an hour on its own.

No I’m afraid it’s a dying hobby.


Sorry couldn’t help it.
