Description
31" (79 cm.) x 16" x 11". The wooden store with warm natural finish on nicely-grained wood is highlighted by two detachable store front windows with rich architectural decorations including paneling, shaped columns and carved crests. Those same details are repeated on the center section of interior shelving which is flanked by two sets of eight wooden drawers with tin labels bearing the content names which include bon-bons and kaffee, but also rare names such as "fenchel" (fennel) and "datteln" (old German word for dates). The walls and floor have original papers, with the floor designed to appear as parquet, and there is a matching store counter, wooden scale with brass trays, rare convertible chair/ladder, barrels and stoneware jugs. Excellent condition with fine original finish, one drawer knob is replaced. Germany, circa 1900, the maker is unknown. Ex-The Boys' Collection.
