12 december 1936
george v continued a process of more gradual modernisation, assisted by his wife, mary of teck, who had a strong interest in furniture and decoration. mary sought out and re-acquired items of furniture that had been lost or sold from the castle, including many dispersed by edward vii, and also acquired many new works of art to furnish the state rooms. queen mary was also a lover of all things miniature, and a famous dolls' house was created for her at windsor castle, designed by the architect edwin lutyens and furnished by leading craftsmen and designers of the 1930s. george v was committed to maintaining a high standard of court life at windsor castle, adopting the motto that everything was to be "of the best". a large staff was still kept at the castle, with around 660 servants working in the property during the period. meanwhile, during the first world war, anti-german feeling led the members of the royal family to change their dynastic name from the german house of saxe-coburg and gotha; george decided to take the new name from the castle, and the royal family became the house of windsor in 1917.
