II: 4501: SOME OF THE DRAWING ROOM FURNITURE.

The finest of delicately worked tapestry covers the Louis XV furniture in the Drawing Room of the Queen's Dolls' House. The settee, (standing 3½ inches high), and the chair are wonderfully and beautifully upholstered, while one can almost see the dates on the jade and platinum "Raphael Tuck" calendar which stands on the little table.
