Description

Decorate your home with the cosiest street of Holland. This Delft blue miniature house is a typical Dutch canal house. This house has a raised neck gable, which was a building feature especially popular in the 16th century. The canal houses were built right beside the canals in the city, which was perfect for trading goods and they are usually tal land narrow. This had to do with the fact that taxes had to be paid based on the width of a building. On top of the gable you often find a large wooden construction, which was used in the past for hoisting trading goods up to the attic. The Amsterdam Canal District is added to the UNESCO World Heritage list and became an iconic picture of The Netherlands. This Delft blue canal house is a decorative figurine, which is part of a collection. Collect them all and create your very own miniature canal district.
