A good quality late 18th century Georgian Oak Miniature, or Childs Chest of Drawers.
Retaining exceptional colour and patina throughout. Having two short and three long drawers, raised on elegant bracket feet with shaped apron.
Children’s furniture is of course much rarer than its full size counterparts. Normally made to the same specifications but on a much smaller scale specifically for the children of wealthy families to use.
This particular piece is constructed from attractive Oak which has retained a good warm colour and patina.
Interestingly there is only one lock, and this is to the very bottom drawer. All of the other keyholes are false and placed purely for decoration it would seem.
It is of course the perfect size to use as a modern day coffee table type piece of furniture, amongst the other myriad of practical uses one can think of.
Circa 1780.
Height - 18in.
Width - 19in.
Depth - 10in.
