(Its often debated whether miniature furniture was
 
made by workshop apprentices looking
 
for a job by showcasing their talents, or in fact
 
made as travelling salesmans scale models in advance
 
of a road trip around the country showing prospective clients
 
the kind of items they could produce back at the workshop and
 
take orders. This particular miniature chest would almost certainly
 
have been made as a salesmans sample piece, due to its overall
 
quality and design and the fact it has been constructed from
 
highly figured mahogany, The brass knobs are later replacements
 
but sit well on the piece and the unusually bold splay feet are
 
very much original. There is also working locks and keys.)
 
Circa 1800
