Description
20" (51 cm.) l. x 12" x 12". The wooden-framed room with decorative ebony-trimmed columns at the front, wooden base and ceiling molding, has lithographed walls to appear as an actual room with details of wallpaper, windows, doors, lavish draperies, mirrors, prints, architectural trim such as paneled wainscoting, and paper lithographed floor is designed to simulate wooden parquet. There is a blown emerald-green glass dome with two rows of suspended beads, and the room is furnished with a chestnut-framed settee and chairs in luxurious green velvet upholstery, along with matching table, framed lithograph, an Art Nouveau lady statue with clock, metal parlor lamp, other accessories, and two bisque dolls with sculpted blonde hair and pretty antique costumes. Excellent condition. Germany, circa 1890, a well-constructed and rare room that combines the traditional wooden room box with the lithographed designs found on folding rooms.
