Joshua, one of my predecessors added "Furniture, dollhouse" to
Nomenclature. I would probably have used "Furniture, doll" instead
because not all doll furniture is scaled for dollhouses, but still this
avoids having to add a whole bunch of item names. Then in the
description we specify what piece of furniture it is. We put it in the
subcategory "Toy".
Hoping this helps,
Anne

Subject: Classifying Doll Furniture
What is the best way to classify doll furniture?
Using a miniature rocking chair as an example, I see a few options with
the Chenall's system. Use Chair, Rocking but specify in description its
size/use. Or create Chair, Toy or Chair, Miniature.
Any advice would be most appreciated.
