Summary
A large dark wooden doll's house sized wardrobe standing upon four very short domed legs (from 'Bella Vista' doll's house - inventory number 661761). The wardrobe has two openable hinged doors, a rectangular mirror on each. The mirrors are framed with decoratively carved 'tubing'. This decoration is repeated at the top of each door, on the drawers and on the bottom edge of the wardrobe. Between the doors is a central column consisting of four drawers. Again these can be opened. At the very top of the drawers is a carved flower roundel. On the reverse side of each door is another mirror. Also inside the doors there is a top wooden shelf with three metal hooks on each. The middle hook is set further back from the others. On the back of the wardrobe is printed 'La Flor De Henry Clay Habana, Julianalyz'. Total number of items is 5.
