IV: 4503: CHINESE CABINET IN QUEEN'S BEDROOM.

The Queen's Dolls' House is a Royal House of Wonder. The whole conception of it is so complete and the details, however tiny, so meticulously perfect that every item in it will excite surprise and evoke universal praise. The artistic finish of this beautiful Cabinet will elicit enthusiastic admiration, indeed it is impossible to do justice to its exquisite workmanship without seeming to exaggerate.
