Description
15" (38 cm.) x 11" room. 3 1/2"h. bed. A wooden room box designed with cobbled stone exterior walls and paneled interior walls and wooden floor, with centered fireplace is replete with exquisitely crafted wooden furnishings of fine burled walnut and maple, including highboy, desk with drop front and fitted interior, wooden swinging cradle, tall four poster bed with canopy and velvet draperies, two side tables with drawers (different styles), three Chippendale style chairs, foot stool and curved back chair. Excellent condition. Comments: the room box and furnishings were created by Mr. Harrison, a well-known British surgeon and miniaturist, circa 1920; one of his clients was Queen Mary who purchased his miniatures for her famous doll house. Value Points: exquisite craftsmanship of both the room and the furnishings.
