Rare Kupjack Lighted Miniature Diorama Prototype – Bavarian Crafts Shop c. 1920:
$424999.15

From a remarkable estate containing numerous Kupjack items — including miniatures, posters, and ephemera linked to the Kupjack family (with references to his sons Hank and others) — comes this extraordinary lighted miniature diorama.

This one-of-a-kind piece exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship and artistry associated with the Kupjack name, known for museum quality miniature Environments. The scene, titled “Berlin 1899,” features street views with signage referencing Rothenburg, as seen outside the windows of the diorama.

Dimensions: Approx. 22.75" W x 15" H x 14" D

Features:

Pristine interior with fully intact miniature furnishings and figures
Fully functional lighting, illuminating the scene with warmth and depth
Encased in a wooden display box with brass corner plates (some screws loose/missing; case shows scuffs and wear consistent with age)
Glass front with gilt frame surround

This piece appears to be a unique prototype, retaining the quality and detail expected of Kupjack-associated works. While the interior remains in excellent condition, the exterior shows minor age-related wear.

Important: Not a toy or mass-produced dollhouse. This is a rare estate-found miniature diorama suitable for serious collectors, museums, or advanced private collections.

Offered as-is from the Kupjack estate. Please review all photos carefully. Will be packed with extreme care for safe delivery.
