A ROYAL PALACE IN THE MAKING
PALAZZO REALE is our largest and more ambitious project to date. Its construction started more than 3 years ago and it is still a work in progress.
This dollhouse is a mixture of many architectural and decorative styles. Its impressive dimensions allow a huge number of rooms with very realistic proportions.
The second floor has two areas. To the right is where the Queen’s bedroom and bathroom are located and on the left is the king’s.
This dollhouse opens on both sides and it has a huge base that also opens on both sides and contains all the service rooms.
This miniature building is a sturdy piece made of thick wood. Its base has an internal metal structure with 18 strong wheels that withstand heavyweight and allow easy movement. For transportation, the dollhouse can be disassembled into 11 parts that can later be reconnected easily with hidden screws.

Soon all the wiring of the electrical system will be done so the creation of all the chandeliers and sconces can start. This will be a titanic task to deal with, especially with the size of huge chandeliers in the entrance hall and the ballroom.
The last step for the interiors will be making all the fabric items like the curtains and beds. for the outside, the final task will be the creation of the gardens.
After more than 6000 hours of work, cutting and carving wood, applying plaster, acrylic paints, and an infinity of 24k gold leaf, the palace is hopefully on its way to becoming a real masterpiece.

THE FACADE
The facade was painted with heavy weathering techniques. Around 7 layers of acrylic paint and wax patina were applied to give the facade the aged stone look. To add an extra level of realism, small details like pigeons were placed in different parts of the windows and roof.

THE BALLROOM
The ballroom was inspired by Versailles. The ceiling was hand-painted with floral designs and its wood and plaster decorations were covered in 24k gold leaf. Faux marble techniques were used on the walls to give the impression of marble panels all over.

The large palace kitchen is equipped with 2 main stoves and 2 secondary ones. A long wooden table is at the center, to the left is the scullery and to the right is the door that connects the kitchen to the servant's quarters. A door next to the main stoves opens to a corridor that leads to the storeroom, Larder, and wine cellar.
To give this room a royal look, a color palette of contrasting navy blue, light blue, white and red were chosen. The room will have a sumptuous red and blue velvet canopy bed with golden accents.
The queen's bedroom is decorated in full rococo style with a soft color palette of pastel pinks and floral designs hand-painted on the walls and ceiling.

THE THRONE ROOM
THE THRONE
Deep red colors with contrasting gold and white were used for this room to give an impressive royal look. A platform and a tall velvet canopy were made to house the king's and queen's thrones. Soon the central chandelier and the wall sconces will illuminate this room giving it an extra touch of majesty.
