Item Description
An apprentice piece miniature table
Pedestal table of circular form with folding top inlaid with twelve sections of veneers, supported on a turned column to platform base, veneered in similar fashion to the top. Stands upon bun feet.
English, circa 1840–1900
Apprentice pieces like this were made by apprentices in workshops to practice and demonstrate their skill, like this piece they are a little less refined than workshop salesman's miniatures - which would have been made by cabinet makers for the salesmen to take to show to clients the designs available without having to carry full sized pieces of furniture. Apprentice pieces have both the naivety of a skill being honed and the charm of a miniature.
