Summary
Wallpaper and attachments. The wallpaper and attachments of the west wall of the dolls' house nursery, with blue washed paper stuck to the board of the carcass. At the top of the wall is a border of striped paper in shades of brown and gold (reminiscent of the borders in Erddig's chapel). In the centre is a large, rectangular picture of around ten little girls and a little boy in 18th century style dress playing Blind Man's Buff on a path among flowers. The picture is surrounded on each side and below by gold paper floral/trellis cut-outs, the gilded elements being of Dresden trim . Above the picture are a floral wreath and two swags.
