Why You’ll Love It
This is a museum-grade 1:12 scale Chippendale dressing table (often historically referred to as a lowboy), handcrafted in 2007 by IGMA Fellow Mark Gooch. It is a breathtaking companion piece to the ribbon-back armchairs we have listed from the same collection. The central bottom drawer features an incredibly crisp, hand-carved relief design showcasing an ornate open flower head flanked by symmetrical acanthus leaf scrolls. The scalloped bottom skirt (or apron) is centered with a beautiful hand-carved scallop shell motif. The piece stands on four perfectly balanced S-curved cabriole legs. The front legs feature acanthus-carved knees and taper down into flawlessly executed ball-and-claw feet. It is fitted with highly detailed, authentic brass pierced escutcheons and swing handles that match 18th-century English styling.
Perfect for a Georgian drawing room, Chippendale dining room, stately library, formal parlor, or gentleman's study.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
