Miniature Georgian mahogany chest of drawers, early 19th c., possibly an apprentice piece, molded and stepped cornice, above the parquetry frieze, two short drawers and three long graduated drawers to the upper section, flanked by canted angles with inlaid fluting, the base with three graduated drawers, likely lacking feet, approx 15.25"h, 12.5"w, 6"d, 6.25lbs **Provenance: From a fine Austin estate. Purchased at Tom Kaye Antiques, San Francisco, California in 1985**

CR 8.19.25-In my opinion regarding LOT 2110: Upon closer examination, a couple of the dovetails appear to be supplemented with reinforcement by small nails, most of the dovetails appear to be of their original construction, I have attached numerous images of the drawer construction for your review; I note that the chest stands sturdy and appears structurally secure throughout, the inlay is overall well-preserved and free from notable losses, drawers operate smoothly and are lined in later added felt, the lowermost drawer with a small segment of loss at the left side panel, overall there is a sparse amount of typical minor surface wear commensurate with age and use such as some small, minute chips, mostly at the cornice
