Miniature Chest of Drawers Hepplewhite Design
Details
A miniature chest of drawers in wood. Boldly carved scalloped apron and simply designed feet suggest the influence of Hepplewhite, c1780-1810. This piece looks to be from the mid-19th century.
Its size, its honey-toned wood and its straightforward design make this a versatility little chest of drawers, good to fit into almost any decor from country to city loft. Two short drawers and two long offer room for jewelry, pocket watches and fobs, sunglasses, spare coins and stray dollar bills. Would work on your desk for checkbooks & scissors, business cards and paper clips. In the kitchen, for your twisty ties to your extra birthday cake candles.
In very good condition. The back was once dovetailed, but was replaced long ago, from the looks of it. Though the replacement wood doesn't honor the dovetailing, it fits perfectly and is nice and old. The drawers all work as they should. A handsome piece that offers a grand presence. 12 1/2"H X 12 1/4"W X 8"D. It weighs about 7 1/2# unpacked.
