Hand carved cabriole feet. French polish finish. Often called an apprentice or "sample" piece (maîtrise), these high-quality miniatures were built by 19th century craftsmen to demonstrate mastery over complex veneer techniques or to showcase furniture designs to wealthy clients before committing to full-sized builds. Perfect for storing treasured objects, for use as a jewelry box or men's watch box. Circa 1900-1910
