Victorian Miniature Mahogany Centre Table
About the Item
An Attractive And Charming Mid 19th Century Mahogany Miniature Centre Table, With Tilting Top Over Turned Central Support And Triform Base With Elegant Scrolling Feet.
There is often debate as to the original purpose regarding many items of miniature furniture, with some people believing them to be “apprentice pieces”.
This was when an aspiring craftsmen who was seeking work at an established cabinet making workshop would create something to showcase his talents.
Many others believe that they were made as “salesman’s sample pieces” which was when scale models of a workshop's output were made in advance of a road trip, during which the salesman used these models to present to prospective clients and take orders based on their designs.
These miniature centre tables come in many different shapes, sizes, qualities and designs and were nearly always created as salesman’s sample pieces, i.e. scale models of bigger versions.

Regency Mahogany Miniature Table Cabinet
Located in Bedfordshire, GB
A Good Quality And Charming Early 19th Century Regency Period Mahogany Miniature Table Cabinet, Having Rectangular Top Over Superbly Figured Panelled Doors, Enclosing Four Concealed Long Drawers, Raised On Elegant Original Turned Feet.
This attractive little piece of Regency miniature furniture, as the name suggests, was probably made as a simple stand alone cabinet to be placed on top of a table top type surface. Alternatively it may have been specifically made as a travelling salesmans sample piece of furniture. Whichever its original purpose it is incredibly useful for modern day living however and we think it could be used to hold a wide variety of different day to day items.
The mahogany veneers have been very carefully chosen to ensure that they are well figured and this results in a very decorative item. Overall the quality of construction is also excellent and it has clearly been made in a well respected workshop.
