The dolls' house in the drawing room came from Newbridge, Donabate; it was probably made by the estate carpenter there in the eighteenth century. Inside there are three great empty rooms and, above child height, utilitarian shelves. Desmond Guinness has commissioned miniature copies of Irish furniture to furnish it once more.
At the bottom of the stair saddles, gumboots, a garden trug and an old carriage trunk - its top curved to keep the rain from settling - are deposited in a decorative ensemble. The tassled and embroidered numner or saddle blanket is from Mexico.
