Why You’ll Love It
An incredible find! A Chippendale or Rococo style display cabinet-on-stand, handcrafted in 1995 by the legendary IGMA Fellow team Millie and Ferd Sobol. It represents the absolute pinnacle of investment-grade miniature furniture collecting. The cabinet is crowned with an incredibly intricate, pierced fretwork swan-neck pediment. It features a central turned urn finial and two matching flaming urn finials at the corners. The two glass-lined front doors feature delicate, hand-carved wood glazing bars designed in sweeping Rococo curves. The doors are mounted on precision top-to-bottom pin hinges that allow them to open seamlessly. The interior features a mirrored back panel to reflect light and two ultra-thin, perfectly scaled glass shelves. The cabinet rests on a matching stand with a dentil-molded cornice, a beautifully carved scroll apron, and elegant cabriole legs ending in graceful pad feet. Also included is the Ferd Sobol custom wooden transit box, a famous hallmark of their finest masterworks, ensuring the piece has remained in pristine, unexposed condition since 1995.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
