Miniature 19th Century Oak Kitchen Windsor Chair

About the Item

A delightful late 19th century miniature oak kitchen Windsor armchair having attractive turned decoration to back, seat, legs and supports (A most unusual and charming item of Miniature furniture this Windsor Armchair is of interesting design. Dating to the late 19th century it is almost certainly a "sample" piece of miniature furniture, which means it would have been used by travelling salesman to take orders from people for full size counterparts which they would like to have made. Often the sample pieces are much rarer and harder to find than the full size versions which is simply due to the fact that nowhere near as many of them were produced in the first place of course).

  • Late Regency 19th Century Burr Oak Miniature Chest
    Located in Bedfordshire, GB
    A delightful Regency Period burr oak miniature chest having Superbly figured top above two short & three long drawers with Original brass knobs flanked by elegant fluted stiles raised on Original brass ball feet (Often much debate is had as to whether miniature furniture was made as an apprentice piece, which is when a craftsmen who is looking for a job at a workshop would create something to showcase their talents, or whether it was made as a travelling salesmans sample piece, which is when a few articles were made as scale models in advance of a road trip during which the salesman would travel the country showing prospective clients the kind of items they could produce back at the workshop and take orders from. This particular miniature chest of drawers is probably the latter and would have been made as a sample piece. The construction is exquisite and the attention to tiny detail phenomenal in all honesty. They work that would have gone into constructing this with all of its fine details would actually have been more of a challenge and taken a more skilled craftsmen than its full size counterparts would have done. It is also super quality and unusual being constructed from burr oak which has taken on an exceptional rich colour and patina over the years of its life. A really quite charming piece of antique miniature furniture...
