Description
lovely, late 19th Century miniature cabinet of drawers, masterfully constructed in figured mahogany with a rich, historic patina. This diminutive "apprentice-style" piece exhibits the sophisticated influence of Campaign and Secrétaire furniture, designed with both portability and elegance in mind.
The twin doors are meticulously bordered with ebony and boxwood "barber-pole" marquetry stringing, a decorative motif that extends to the overhanging top and the stepped plinth base. Upon opening, the cabinet reveals a bank of four drawers, each featuring highly sought after flush-mount brass military pulls.
The craftsmanship is further evidenced by the hand cut dovetail joinery on the drawer linings, signifying a high level of cabinetmaking skill. The exterior displays a deep, mellow color and a lustrous wax finish that highlights the natural "flame" of the mahogany grain.
