Summary
A wicker cane doll's chair with a high, hooped wicker cane 'handle' rising upwards from behind the curved back. Both the seat and the back are made of interwoven wicker cane. In between the four legs are elaborate struts and stretchers. Linking the bottom of each chair leg is a stretcher which in turn is nailed to one side of a rectangular wooden base. There is a piece of blue ribbon tied around the hooped 'handle'.
