Summary
A doll's wooden shop with a hinged roof which has now become detached from its hinges and lifts off completely. The interior of the roof is painted cream as is the interior of the shop walls. On the front wall is a removable glass window which slots in and out of a wooden rebate. To the right of the window is a door which opens on hinges. Behind the window is a wire curtain rail from which a faded green cotton curtain hangs from brass rings. There is also a rectangular cardboard lid which has been painted dark brown to match the exterior of the shop and a wooden stand also painted dark brown. A length of wire has been threaded through a hole in each of the two vertical uprights of the stand. Total number of items is 6.
