VI: 4505: GUNS, PUNCH BOWL, SCREEN & STICK STAND.

The taste and care bestowed upon every item, however small, in the Queen's Dolls' House have achieved a triumph in microscopic arts and crafts. Midget guns and stick stand, punch bowl and screen, each and all worthy of detailed description and unqualified praise. This model Mansion is undoubtedly a museum of tiny masterpieces.
