Side Table - Withdrawing Room, Dolls' House, 'Pendle Hall', 1940s Reg. No: HT 25755

Summary:: Side table from Room 11 - Withdrawing Room, Main Building Section, Pendle Hall. From left wall under window.

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 1940's 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.
Description:: Half circle table. Top section of table has a laminated motif. Table has four legs.
