Miniature sideboard. A carcass of a miniature wooden sideboard from the dolls' house, with openings for seven drawers, five of which are stuck in place and a cupboard with a door in the centre at the bottom. The sideboard and drawers are made of thin wood covered with purple paper and the outside and drawer fronts have been varnished. The body of the sideboard has a moulded trim around the base and gold coloured handles which pierce the front of the drawers and the cupboard door. It has one leg missing, two legs which look like part of painted cotton reels and one actual cotton reel. Only two drawers will open.
