Decorate your home with one of the most charming streets in the Netherlands. This Delft blue decorative canal house is a miniature townhouse with a raised-neck gable, a style that was particularly popular in the Netherlands during the 16th century. These canal houses are typically tall, narrow and deep because taxes were once based on the width of the façade. You can sometimes still see a special beam protruding from the façade, which was used to hoist goods upstairs and keep them safe from flooding.
Amsterdam’s canal ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has become an iconic symbol of the Netherlands. This charming Delft blue canal house makes a beautiful decorative piece for your home. The collection consists of different types of traditional canal houses, each with its own distinctive façade. Place them all together to create your very own picturesque little canal street.
