Childs and Miniature size examples of the typical wellington chest of drawers are generally much rarer to find than their full size counterparts, particularly those that are constructed from a particularly unusual wood, or that are of much better quality than the norm like this particular example.

Constructed from a very good grade of mahogany it also boasts excellent quality drawer linings and therefore the drawers still run beautifully making it most fit for pupose indeed. It also boasts two hinged pilasters to hold the drawers in place, one of which contains the actual lock and the other which locks into place with a brass catch at the top.

This is an incredibly useful, functional and practical piece of furniture around the modern home of course, absolutely perfect for a whole host of places, including as a coffee table beside a settee or chair, as a bedside table, or even as an additional storage piece in a bedroom or office, offering great solutions.
