This remarkable little miniature chest is not of a design which we have seen before and it is really both incredibly rare and incredibly charming. 

It dates to the early 18th century, the back end of the queen anne period and the early georgian period and we imagine that it was made as a special commission for somebody. 

The inlaid decoration throughout is excellent and adds real class and sophistication to the piece along the the wonderful concave starburst to the bottom drawer.

It also retains a lovely untouched warm colour and patina, original brass and its original feet so is clearly something that has been well loved and cherished throughout its life. 

As with all items which we offer for sale this georgian walnut miniature chest of drawers has received a natural wax polish in our workshops following inspection by our highly skilled and trained antique furniture restorers ensuring that it is ready for immediate placement following purchase.
