Although not stamped, this miniature chest of drawers is very similar to examples that are known to have been produced by the famed cabinet maker John Bubb.
Mr Bubb described himself as a “toyman” and cabinet maker. He traded from 39 White St, Southwark in 1809 and 7 White Cross St in 1837. These pieces are thought to have been made as toys, possibly for use with large dolls’ houses.
The present example is in good antique condition. It has it’soriginal “crusty” surface, original knobs and escutcheons. The drawer linings are original. There is a repaired section to one foot and also to the central part of the lower frieze.
