Late 19th to Early 20th Century Sedan Chair Miniature Table Top Display Cabinet

About the Item

Late 19th to early 20th century sedan chair miniature table top display cabinet Charming custom made and hand painted miniature table top display Measures: 9.5" wide x 9.5" deep x 20" high Good antique condition with some loss to the paint (see pics) *interior lights are not working - easy to replace if needed A Sedan (aka litter) is a class of human-powered transport, for the transport of persons. Smaller litters may take the form of open chairs or beds carried by two or more carriers, some being enclosed for protection from the elements. Larger litters, for example those of the Chinese emperors, may resemble small rooms upon a platform borne upon the shoulders of a dozen or more people. To most efficiently carry a litter, porters either place the carrying poles directly upon their shoulders or use a yoke to transfer the load from the carrying poles to the shoulders. A fine opportunity!

  • Antique French 19th Century Jewelry Box Flap Door Miniature Wood Cabinet
    Located in Firenze, IT
    This beautiful French late 19th century chest of drawers in black ebonized wood and cherrywood reproduces with perfect proportions in scale a miniature cabinet with three drawers and an upper flap door that opens to reveal a white marble top and an oval mirror inside, nice hand carved band on top with geometrical pattern and molded base. The black lacquered wood creates a wonderful contrast with the beautiful honey-colored wood grain.
