I: 4500: THE DINING ROOM.

A stately and fascinating room for a banquet is the Dining Room of the Queen's Dolls' House. It is 42 inches long, 20 inches wide, 15 inches high, the scale being 1 inch to the foot. It has a painted ceiling; Royal portraits and pictures in miniature by eminent artists adorn the walls. The table, 2½ inches high, is set for a dinner party with snowy damask tablecloth and is fully equipped—flowers and fruit, china, cutlery, silver candelabra – all complete to the smallest detail.
