Museum Diorama

A rare and rather wonderful antique diorama, originally used as museum teaching aids to educate about the cultures of the world and their traditional dress.

The diorama is housed within a custom-made perspex showcase and then stored within its own handmade red wooden box, complete with a sliding door, for easy transportation.

The diorama displays a male and female figure in traditional Dutch attire.

Exquisite detailing to the facial expressions and clothing. The diorama is numbered ‘285E’, indicating they were part of a much larger collection.

British, circa 1940.
