IV: 4503: FIREPLACE AND OVERMANTEL IN QUEEN'S BEDROOM.

All the fireplaces in the Queen's Dolls' House are miniature works of art, and the one shown in the picture is in the Queen's Bedroom and will repay careful study. It is of jade and white marble, and above may be seen the portrait of the Queen's Mother, The Duchess of Teck, painted by Frank O. Salisbury.
