Summary
A doll's house size bed with bedding. The bed is made from gold-coloured metal and consists of two identical arch-shaped tubular ends each having a rectangular main piece embossed with a cherub's head and wings, and a mesh frame between, bended into shape with a piece of white cardboard at the base. The metal is quite worn and rusty. The bedding consists of a mattress, pillow and sheet. The mattress is a grey cotton rectangle stuffed possibly with cotton wool. The pillow is a white square similarly stuffed, with a lace edging. The sheet is a white cotton rectangle hemmed along all sides. All the bedding is very dirty. Total number of items is 4.
