Description
14" (36 cm.) h. x 15" w. x 10" d. Of fine mahogany with burled veneer fronts on the three drawers with dovetailed construction, the two lower set-back drawers flanked by fancily carved columns which appear to support the upper drawer. With original matching wooden knobs and real locks on the drawers (no key). Excellent condition. Probably American, circa 1825, the fine quality of woods and workmanship indicate its origin as a cabinetmaker's miniature model.
