II: 4501: THE KING’S LIBRARY TABLE

Upon the King's writing table in the Library of the Queen’s Dolls' House is a handsome silver inkstand on the lines of that used by His Majesty. Pens, paperweights, reference books, a "Raphael Tuck" calendar, a cheque book – all that is needed for correspondence is set out, not forgetting a waste-paper basket.
