This is a larger-scale set. There is a table with four chairs, and there are also two upholstered living room chairs, a sofa, two large cupboards, and a wall clock. The pieces have been stained a light green, which has faded to gold or cream in many places. They have transfer decoration (I think) on them, as you can see on the table top, in dark green. Or was it gold-coloured once, with the shine worn off? I bought the set in South Africa, from Portobello Road Antiques in Johannesburg in 1977. I was told that they had been in South Africa for sixty years. The furniture resembles German transfer-decorated pieces, but I haven't seen them in this scale (1/8 or 1/10?), or in green. |

Another cupboard, and a wall-hanging clock. Better pictures will follow when my camera is fixed or replaced. You can tell by the colours of the ruler that I've had to brighten some pictures more than others. The first cupboard is shown closer to the real colour. None of these pieces has any markings on the back or underside. |
