Summary
A pair of doll's house size chairs, made of wood and stained dark brown. They appear to have been carved from single blocks of wood, with square seats and scroll-shaped backs. A 'W' shape is carved at the lower edge of each side of the chair, and repeated on the underside of the seat. The seats are quite worn, and at some time the left front leg of one of the chairs has broken off and been glued back on. Total number of items is 2.
