A dollhouse model of a grey folding high-chair', probably made by Reka.

Design

Judging by the number of different dollhouse versions, the folding high-chair seems to have been a well-known design in the 1930s. The chair's two back legs are interrupted and the two front legs are hinged halfway down, so that he chair can be put into two different configurations: a standard baby's high chair, or ... with the lower section rotated forwards ... a low chair and table.
