18th. century, Miniature Painted Table Chest
This is a darling little miniature table chest. The form is different, it sits up on four little feet, has a sweet carrying handle, wire latch, is constructed with rose head nails, saw tooth cut out sides, original wire hinges and measures only 12 1/4 x 6 3/4 x 5 inches. It retains its original red painted surface. Pine wood. Please notice that one side is painted differently than the other side (see photo). I certainly don’t know why but perhaps that was the wood that was used, who knows. It is unique, original and home made as so much of these dear items are from the 18th. century. The condition is excellent and this chest comes with excellent provenance. sold
