Mid-19th Century Burr Walnut Miniature Chest of Drawers (England, circa 1870)
SOLD
A mid-19th century burr walnut miniature chest having well figured shaped top over four drawers retaining original turned wooden knobs flanked by canted corners raised on original plinth base (There is often a debate over whether miniature furniture was made as an apprentice piece, which is where somebody who is looking for a job in a workshop would create something to showcase their talents, or whether it was made as a travelling salesman sample piece, 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.)
