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. Despite its convenient size, extremely detailed, this chest of drawers is equipped with a white Carrara marble top and a small mirror that make it even more special and useful. The model of a piece of furniture was originally created by cabinet makers to show their skills to the customer and to present the sample of the furniture which would then have been produced on a larger scale. These commode miniatures, along with other specimens, were displayed in the craftsman's workshop to serve as examples to aid the potential client in making a selection. Some also think that these little chests were used as doll and puppets...

19thc Salesman's Sample Brunswick Balke Collender Co. Liquor Decanter Bar w/Rail
By Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company 1
Located in Savannah, GA
I mean, have you ever? This rare travelling salesman sample miniature bar is in very good condition and is labeled Brunswick Balke-Collender Co. in clear and vibrant lettering. Not only known for its billiard tables and sporting goods, this Midwest based company built bars for two decades starting from the 1880s as saloons were growing in popularity. Features include a stainless steel top, nickel foot rail (remember men stood at the bars at that time- there were no stools), a green glass liquor bottle inside and a metal pump handle that works but not tested with liquid. A salesman sample is a smaller version of a specific product and were commonly used in the 19th and 20th centuries to show important details of larger pieces. These small, exact duplicates were sent to sales representatives to take pre-orders from retailers, trade shows, and wholesale accounts since the larger life sized models were impossible to cart around. Last image shows an excerpt from a late 1800s Brunswick bar...

Miniature Wicker Chair, Possibly Salesman Sample, circa 1900
Located in Petaluma, CA
The detail of this chair is so accurate that we can believe it may well be a salesman sample. Dollhouse, or toy furniture is not made with this kind of attention to detail. Please study the photos. It is quite a remarkable example and one we have never seen in our over 40 years of dealing antiques. It has been kept in remarkable condition. It doesn't seem likely that a child played with this chair. Luckily it hasn't been foolishly painted over in white like so many larger wicker chairs...
