V: 4504: THE ROYAL NURSERY CRADLE, BABY CHAIR & WEIGHING MACHINE.

The Nursery of the Queen's Dolls’ House may be said to beggar all description. Everything that a child’s heart could desire seems included with the useful and essential items shown in the picture. There is an elegant high chair for Baby, a handsome applewood and ivory cradle, 4½ inches long, with the Prince of Wales’s feathers on the hood, while on the post at the foot kneels a guardian angel with folded hands. The weighing machine would gauge the weight correctly of a baby one-twelfth life size.
