Dollhouse Parlor Suite in Original Box
Dollhouse Parlor Suite in Original Box
Although we do not like to over use the phrase "museum quality" - in this case, it may be the perfect choice of words to describe this veritable time capsule - a German-made dollhouse Parlor Suite in its original box, a product of B. Harrass, a German manufacturer.
The pine box, with its tortoise shell paper covering and factory label on the front gives you the first clue to the splendid treasure housed inside, as the contents is well depicted in the line drawing found there.
Lift the lid and you will discover a nine-piece suite in ebonized, hand-carved wood, that includes a sofa with red silk embossed velvet covering, two matching side chairs, two matching rockers, (each with a loss to a portion of its rocker) a round center table with chip carving upon the surface, a pier mirror/planter, a a side cabinet with a mirrored door, and an easel that is fitted with a framed chromolithograph (loss to one fancy embossed corner).
Display this set in a dollhouse parlor, or in the box - either way it's a marvel to behold.
