The World's Most Iconic Houses in Miniature | Mulvany & Rogers

I am an interior designer on a mission to champion craftsmanship through Artfully Crafted, a platform I have created to spotlight the current generation of master makers in order to inspire the next. Discover the skills and meet the makers behind a broad and diverse range of crafts from silversmithing and woodcarving to weaving and embroidery, with a new video published every Saturday. Mulvany & Rogers create museum-quality miniature houses. Commissioned by collectors and global patrons of the arts, their meticulously handcrafted replicas of the world's most revered palaces, houses, and historic interiors take years to complete. In this episode of Artfully Crafted, we sit down with Kevin & Susie to discuss how this husband-and-wife team built one of the most extraordinary and unique careers in the art world; from how they started, worked with collectors, and brought the world's most iconic architectural interiors to life in miniature.
