Regency Mahogany Miniature Bowfront Chest, 1830

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A Very Good Quality Late Regency Period Mahogany Miniature Chest, Of Bowfronted Form, Having Well Figured Top with Ebonised Stringing, Over Two Short And Three Long Drawers Retaining Original Turned Wooden Knobs, Above Elegant Shaped Apron And Original Splayed Bracket Feet.

A charming little miniature chest, constructed using good quality, well figured timbers and retains its original handles plus its original feet. Almost certainly this was made as a travelling salesmans sample piece of furniture originally.

There is regular debate over whether miniature furniture was made as an apprentice piece, which is when a craftsmen who was looking for a job at a workshop would create something to showcase their talents. Or whether it was made as a travelling salesmans sample piece, which is when a few items were produced as scale models buy a well established workshop as a form of physical catalogue in advance of a travelling salesman’s road trip around the country, for him to use to try and fill his order book with full size counterparts.

It is certain that this is both a useful and attractive piece of antique miniature furniture and remains in good condition, ready to be placed straight into the home. It would work wonderfully on top of a dressing table, or full size chest of drawers, in a bedroom for storage of cuff links, jewellery or similar small but valuable items. As with all items which we offer for sale it has received a natural wax polish in our workshops before being offered for sale to ensure that its in the best possible condition.
