II: 4501: DRAWING ROOM CABINET.

In several apartments of the Queen's Dolls' House there are beautiful specimens of Lac work of which this Cabinet is a handsome example. Standing 7¼ inches high it has numerous drawers which run smoothly and a minute lock which works with an almost invisible golden key. It is an exact reproduction in miniature of the full size Cabinet in the possession of the Marquis of Londonderry, and was presented by the Marchioness.
