Regency Mahogany Miniature Chest of Drawers

About the Item

A very good quality mahogany miniature chest of Drawers having well figured top over three long Drawers with later brass knobs flanked by half Turned outstanding columns to side raised on Original elegant turned feet (Much discussion is had over the original purpose of almost all miniature furniture and the simple answer is that we will probably never know what the majority of pieces original intended function was. The two main uses were of course pieces which were made as travelling salesman's sample pieces, which is where a few articles were made as scale models in advance of a road trip on 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, or alternatively pieces which were produced by apprentices attempting to showcase their skills and gain employment at the cabinet making workshop of their choosing. This particular chest is probably a sample piece due to the use of expensive timbers and superbly executed proportions).

  • Regency Mahogany Childs Chest of Drawers
    Located in Bedfordshire, GB
    A delightful regency period mahogany childs chest, having well figured top over two short and three long drawers with replacement brass knobs, raised on original splayed feet with elegant shaped apron. Childrens furniture is generally found much less often rarer than its full size and scale counterparts for many reasons, the most obvious of which being that there was simply far less of these effective scale models produced. Generally childrens furniture was made to the same specifications, but on a smaller scale, for the children of wealthy families to have and to use. This childs chest is a nice one, good quality and constructed from good, well figured timbers. The brass knobs are later replacements, it would probably have had turned wooden ones originally, however these brass ones work rather well and sit very attractively. From a purely practical perspective it is the perfect size to be used in a whole host of different spaces around the home, but would make an excellent modern day coffee table type item alongside a chair, or sofa. As with all items which we offer for sale this childs chest of drawers...
