MINIATURES FURNITURE & SILVER:
VICTORIAN MINIATURE DESK/CABINET WATCH STAND

Antique Victorian miniature wood furniture in the form of a desk or cabinet that actually serves as a watch stand. Made 19th century. Comes from the estate of the late Beverly Sills, famous opera singer and society beneficiary.Measures 8 inches accross and 6 inches to the top of the arch. Miniature wooden chest or desk. Beautifully constructed with rounded and stepped edges and inlaid wood with wonderful veneer patterning. A hook for hanging a fob watch above an inset circle. The left side is a cupboard, the right a pair of drawers. Wood inlay designed so that they look identical from the outside. However, the left side swings open on hinges and closes with a little latch. If you look very carefully on the inside (where your knee would go were you to sit at the piece), there is a tiny hole. The right side drawers are constructed in typical Victorian style, with dovetailed joints. Great veneer to the wood. Good condition.The watch shown in one of the 'photos was found inside the drawer of another item from the Beverly Sills estate. It is not included with this item, but it is available for sale.

MINIATURES FURNITURE & SILVER:
ANTIQUE WOOD FURNITURE MINIATURE DESK / CHEST

Antique wooden miniature chest / desk. Made well over 100 years ago, but exact date not known. 11.5 inches long; 8 inches tall; 5.5 inches front to back. May have been a salesman's sample and may have been a child's toy. Would make a wonderful jewellery box today. Beautifully constructed a long time ago.Long, deep drawfront divided into two compartments, at the bottom, right accross the front. Above it is a much narrower/shallower drawer with no division. A desk / writing surface above that and recessed behind is a set of 6 smaller draws, all but one divided into two sections. The draw pulls are made of natural material, we are not sure exactly what, and some have a little bite missing here and there (as shown in 'photos). The draws are beautifully constructed with fine dovetails. Due to age, the wood has separated and someone, apparrently a long time ago, has filled in some of the gaps - see 'photos. There is one little chunk of missing wood - seems to have fallen away due to age, not damage. The rest is in good shape, with plenty of signs of age and use - certainly not pristine.

ANTIQUE ARTS AND CRAFTS DESK SET W BEAR STAMP

Original antique Arts and Crafts brass desk set. Consists of a brass box, fitted with 3 rectangular boxes for holding writing paraphenalia, an octogonal box, that may be an 'extra' and not originally part of the set and a stamp box, with compartments for two piles of stamps and a bear holding a punt or rowing. The main box is 8 X 4 5/8inches. It consists of scrolling openwork. There is a wooden shelf on two old wooden blocks inside, providing space to store documents etc.Above the shelf are 3 hand hammered, hand engraved rectangular boxes. Design is very much in the Aesthetic taste. They have large loops to house the hinges, the sticks of which are missing. The octogonal box has a different hand hammered and engraved design and is therefore perhaps not part of the original set.The small stamp box features a beautifully modelled bear as the handle. Great detail to fur and face. Here, the hinges are in good condition.Generally very good condition besides the minor bits missing from the hinges (replaceable even with a small stick/match).
