Summary
Seat from Room 21 - Chinese Bedroom, Main Building Section, Pendle Hall. From front of vanity desk.
It was created by Felicity Clemons as part of a 40 project to create a grand fully-furnished Georgian style country dolls' house. The project began in the 1940s when Felicity's daughter, Antonia, was given a three-room dolls' house by her grandmother. Mrs Clemons was not happy with its scale or authenticity and so began a rebuilding project which resulted in a four storey grand house, now known as Pendle Hall. Although some items were purchased during shopping trips to Melbourne, the majority of furnishings were constructed by Felicity's own hands, using numerous reference books and magazines.
Physical Description
Rectangular seat painted maroon and gold with a maroon fabric upholstered seat. Fret work around upper edges.
