A superb example of Victorian craftsmanship, this miniature Scotch chest is a beautifully scaled-down version of the traditional Scottish chest of drawers.

Crafted from rich flame mahogany, the chest features a distinctive architectural panel-back design, resting on turned bun feet that elevate its stature and charm.

The chest comprises four functional drawers, each adorned with twin wooden knobs and inset with striking diamond-shaped bone keyhole escutcheons, providing a tasteful contrast against the deep reddish tones of the polished mahogany.

The top drawer sits beneath a fluted panel and is flanked by robust scrolled corner columns, lending the piece a commanding classical aesthetic.

This antique miniature chest may have originally served as an apprentice piece, a shopfitter’s model, or a jewellery or watchmaker’s cabinet.

The rear panel is solid and original, confirming its authenticity and age. Ideal for collectors of Victorian miniatures, Scottish furniture, or for use as a unique jewellery cabinet or decorative feature.
