English Miniature Painted Chest of Drawers from the Turn of the Century

About the Item

A painted English miniature nest of drawers from the late 19th-early 20th century. This exquisite English miniature brown colored nest of drawers features five drawers with two cubby drawers over three larger ones. The crest is decorated with a scalloped motif. The simplicity of the body is softened by the decorative elements and finials flanking the sides. Nests of drawers were chiefly made in England in the 18th and 19th century and are made to be set on the top of a desk or table. The term nest of drawers is a derivative of chest of drawers.

  • Georgian Yew Wood Miniature Chest of Drawers
    Located in Bedfordshire, GB
    A charming and rare 18th century Georgian yew wood miniature chest having four long drawers with original brass knobs raised on original shaped bracket feet. (There is often debate as to whether miniature furniture was made as an apprentice piece, which is when a craftsmen who is looking for a job at a workshop would create something to showcase their talents, or whether it was made as a travelling salesman's sample piece, which is when a few articles were made as scale models in advance of a road trip during which a salesman would travel the country showing prospective clients the kind of items they could produce back at the workshop and take orders from. This particular example doesn't really appear to quite fit either of those briefs however and may well have just been made as an individual, one off piece in a provincial workshop. One of the reasons for this is the construction from solid yewwood which is a rarely used material in items any larger than this as the trunks generally don't grow large enough. The overall quality is  excellent and clearly somebody has spent many, many hours  producing this wonderful piece. A really quite charming piece of antique miniature furniture...
