Summary
Tray of cutlery from Room 6 - Kitchen, Basement Central Section, Pendle Hall. From top right side of sink.
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 wooden cutlery tray divided into three sections for knives, forks and spoons. Dividers of tray are covered in green felt. Tray holds five knives, four forks and five spoons. Tray is slightly angled higher on one side. Black ink stamp on base of tray.
