Full Description
An antique Victorian miniature mahogany 2 over 2 chest of drawers - possibly an apprentice piece
In detail we have the following:
- 2 small drawers 18.5cms by 8.5cms
- 2 larger drawers 18.25cms by 19.5cms
- oak linings to the drawers
- dovetail joints to the drawers
- brass knobs to the drawers (the one on the top right drawer is a replacement piece and is a slightly different size to the others). One of the photographs shows the slightly different profile of this knob - the replacement knob is on the drawer which is furthest away
- original green canvas backing to the rear of the item
- replacement mahogany feet
- 16 glue blocks supporting the base and sides - this is a case of slight over engineering, but does add to the solidity of this piece
Summary
A solid mahogany unit of good colour, size and proportion
Postage is just to the UK mainland with delivery via UPS, but personal collection from Buntingford (East Herts. SG9) is most welcome
