The drawer bottoms are numbered one through three in pencil on their undersides, a workshop convention used to keep each drawer paired with the opening it was hand-fitted to during construction. Solid mahogany throughout with pine drawer linings. Pieces like this were made by cabinetmaking apprentices at the end of their seven-year training, or as scale samples carried by traveling salesmen to show prospective clients the quality of a particular workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Type | Miniature chest of drawers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Material | Solid mahogany; pine drawer linings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Origin | England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Age | Circa 1830 to 1860, late Georgian to mid-Victorian period\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Style | Provincial English cabinetmaking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Configuration | Three graduated drawers, top shallowest to bottom deepest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Size | 13 in H x 14 in W x 6 in D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Drawer Interior | 2.5 in H x 11 in W x 4.75 in D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Feet | Shaped bracket feet with double-arc scalloped apron\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Hardware | Original turned mahogany knobs, two per drawer, no locks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Construction | Solid mahogany case; pine drawer linings; drawers numbered 1 through 3 in pencil on undersides; plank back with vertical center stile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe chest is in good antique condition overall with honest wear consistent with its age. The exterior mahogany is rich in color and retains its original surface. The top shows light surface scratching and crazing across its face, with a small chip or loss at the front left corner of the top edge. The applied molding on the front case columns shows minor wear at the joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAll three drawers are present, slide, and function. Each drawer is numbered in pencil on its underside, matching it to its fitted opening. The drawer interiors are unlined pine in generally good condition with age-appropriate surface wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe back of the case is plank construction with a vertical center stile. It shows heavy surface wear, significant scratching, and some finish loss across its face. There is a vertical crack or split running the height of the right back panel. This is not visible from the front or sides and does not affect the structural integrity of the case, which is solid. The shaped bracket feet and scalloped apron are intact. The underside corners of the case show some deterioration at the foot joints consistent with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51313283891478,"sku":"AMD-03020","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/JuneEnland2026-5854.jpg?v=1783027681","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/antique-english-mahogany-miniature-chest-of-drawers-circa-1830","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
