Dolls' house with a royal seal of approval: Miniature visitors' book signed by 12-year-old Queen and her sister Margaret goes up for sale

A tiny guest book made for a magnificent dolls house that includes the signature of the Queen has emerged for sale.

The 1.5 inch long book is believed to have been made for Titania's Palace, a magical model commissioned by Sir Nevile Wilkinson for his daughter in 1907.

Thirty years later the princesses Elizabeth and Margaret were shown the incredible model and photos of the two with it have also turned up along with the guest book.

The Royals signed the little book with their first names, and dated the entry July 22, 1938.

They took their turn in viewing the palace. At the time, the future Queen was 12-years-old and was clearly taken with the model.

The over-the-top dolls house was 116 inches long, 19 inches wide and 30 inches high with a dome cupola on top.

Made from 100-year-old mahogany, it included bronze walls and 18 rooms and salons in which were hand-carved, hard wood furniture and 3,000 little works of art.

There were also books made especially for the palace and it's thought that the autograph book was originally among them.

The book has gilt scrolled tooling with a central butterfly topped with a crown and it even has a silk bookmark and top quality paper.

It's thought it must have become separated from the palace that is now on display in Denmark.

The amazing model was heated and lit by electricity and was designed to be the home for Titania, "Queen of the Fairies".

Sir Nevile, who was married to Dowager Lady Pembroke, was inspired to commission the palace after the couple's daughter Guendolen said she saw a fairy.

Apparently the girl felt sorry that the fairy, which she saw running beneath tree roots near their home at Mount Merrion in Ireland, had to live underground.

The fairy palace - made by James Hicks and Sons, Irish Cabinet Makers- was afterwards displayed and sent on tours of the world to help raise money for various children's charities.

It remained in the family for many years but was sold in the 1960s to an English amusement park. It later sold at auction in 1977 for 131,000 pounds.

The tiny book was recently taken to an auction house by a woman from Dorset whose aunt had been a companion of Lady Pembroke after she moved to Wiltshire.

The book also has the names of Queen Mary, Queen's grandmother, and Helena Victoria, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria

The book and associated ephemera are now being sold at Duke's auction house in Dorchester, Dorset.

The items are expected to fell for several hundred pounds each.

As well as the signatures of the two princesses the book also has the names of the Queen's grandmother, Queen Mary, who signed it in 1923, and Helena Victoria, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria.

Deborah Doyle, from Duke's, said: "A lady brought the little autograph book in to use along with some letters.

'Her aunt had been a lady in waiting to Lady Pembroke and had worked at the family home.

'The autograph book is a perfect fit for Titania Palace, which was made in 1907 for Lady Pembroke's daughter.

'It travelled the world and went on display in many places over the years and made a great deal of money for charity.

'While we can't be positive the autograph book is from Titania Palace, it is similar to other books.

"And we also know that the two princesses saw the palace because we have a photograph of them looking at it.

'It is a wonderful thing and the signatures are right and already there has been a lot of interest.'

Sir Nevile Wilkinson married Lady Beatrix Francis Gertrude Herbert, first daughter of the 14th Earl of Pembroke, in 1903.

The book is now being sold on September 27th

The couple moved into Mount Merrion House in Ireland, where they lived until the start of the First World War. They had two daughters.

Wilkinson built two famous dolls houses, Titania's Palace and Pembroke Palace, which is now at Wilton House, Wilts, the seat and home of the 18th Earl of Pembroke.
