Triang Spot On furniture was produced in 1960.  The style of this furniture being the late 1950’s The furniture made from moulded plastic and metal.  It was sold in individual boxes, with the ‘Triang’ and ‘Spot On’ Logos, on a pink and cream box.  The Range also included ‘Dollies Home’ introduced in 1962, which consisted mainly of room sets.  The boxes they were sold in were printed to represent the room, kitchen, bedroom etc. The ‘Triang’, ‘Spot On’ and ‘Dollies Home’ range continued until 1964.

Jenny’s Home

As fashion and style move on so did Triang and in 1964, they launched a new range of furniture in collaboration with ‘Homes and Gardens’ magazine.  This co-insided with the introduction of the ‘Jenny’s Home ‘ Room Boxes, many of them came ready furnished and could be joined together.  Much of the furniture of the ‘Triang’ ‘ Spot On Range’, either changed in style or bright modern colours.  Being made now completely of plastic, with the removal of the metal fittings.  The packaging also changed with a move away from pink to blue, yellow, red and orange. With a smart new logo in a red and pink heart, with Jenny’s Home in the middle, and the words ‘the home that g-r-o-w-s around it. Individual items and small room sets, now on  blister pack cards and room sets in plastic covered square flat boxes.

FILING CABINET 1158

Although this Filing Cabinet [1158] is not actually an Accessory, I was not sure where to put it.

I managed to take this picture, so it looks as if the lady is taking files from the cabinet.

 

The Filing Cabinet is one of the few items that is labeled with the Triang name.

TRUG 1115

FLOWER POTS 1119

 

DOG IN BASKET 1135

The first Triang dog was white with black ears, and as stated on the box, came with a bone and bowl.

The Spaniel, in its basket [1135], was available until around 1968.  It was replaced with a white poodle on its hind legs, but only came with Jenny Home sets JH45 and 50, not sold separately.

 

COAL SCUTTLE 1141

EAVENSTAFF MINI ROYAL PIANO 1045

Triang produced a piano for the musically inclined residents of the Triang dolls house. The style is taken from the Eavestaff Mini Royal Piano, and Stool produced in the 1960’s.

The seat of the piano stool lifts up, to store your sheet music in.

When the top lid is opened the silver strings of the piano can be seen, it is complete with two black foot pedals.

 

 

This is probably a later model of the piano, as it is made of two different coloured shades of brown.

 

 

 

The newer Triang piano has gold strings and pedals.

 

On the inside of the piano lid is enbossed with the makers name Eavestaff.

This is another one of the few furniture items that are marked as being made by Tri-ang.

 

UMBRELLA STAND 1135

The original Umbrella Stand was blue, and came in a box with a walking stick and umbrella.

As you can see from the picture above, some of the metallic paint has come off the stand.  The stand was only available in a set in the Jenny’s Home Range [JH 43]

 

TRAY, GOBLETS AND DISH

This is a lovely set of silver items, some are listed as single items, but appeared in various combinations in Jenny’s Home Sets.

 

 

 

LUGGAGE 1142

Triang Luggage 1142/1157,  it consists of a Cabin Trunk, Suit Case and Hat Box.

The luggage is not quite as  shown in the 1960 catalogue.   This Set did continue into the Jenny’s Home range of furniture.  The colour was changed though to brown with cream handles, it has always been sold as a group of three items.

The little handle on the Suitcase and Hot Box move,

The Luggage Set has a tendency to warp, but they look ok from the front.

This picture shows the inside of the suitcase.  There is a piece of silver painted plastic which has a fitting for the handle and the little claps lock.  For the size of this luggage the detail is very good, and not something you expect in a Triang piece.

 

For the ‘Do it yourself’ enthusiast, we have a wide range of dolls’ house fittings.  All frames are of moulded plastic, whilst windows are fitted with transparent plastic ‘panes’ and opening doors with hinges.
