Lilliput Lane Collectibles

From 1982 to 2016, owner David Tate and other craftsmen handcrafted Lilliput Lanes cottages and Christmas ornaments with the desire to capture the vernacular architectural history of Great Britain. Each location was researched before it was made of wax, with each stone and shingle being individually added. Finally, each piece was carefully cast.

Did Lilliput Lane make any numbered limited editions for collectors?

Yes, several limited edition models were made. They were all retired in the 1990s. They include:

Were any miniature nature-themed pieces made?

In addition to cottages, ornaments, and houses, nature models were produced. An example of a miniature series is Secret Gardens.

The Secret Gardens model came in a box with a deed. It was retired in 2000.
