Antique Miniature Dresser Styled Jewelry Chest or Music Box with Pink Marble Top

About the Item

This well executed antique musical jewelry box has no maker's marks, but presumed to have been made in Continental Europe in circa 1895 in the Edwardian style. The jewelry box is constructed as a miniature two drawer dresser with burled wooden veneer on the sides and a pink marble top. The fronts of the dove tail cornered drawers have key holes with brass surrounds and a small lock on the top drawer with the original metal key. The musical mechanism is constructed of brass and is wound from the bottom. This jewelry store dresser styled box sits on four bun feet.

  • 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...
