Miniature Shaker Workbench #23Circa 1850 8" x 2 3/4" x 2 1/2"
|
This splendid miniature workbench attests to the care that Shaker artisans put into everything they made. Various species of hard wood were used to meet the demands of use. This bench was made for both left-handed and right-handed users and features two vises of different size. Every drawer is a different size for some unknown practical reason, and it is thought to have been made in either Hancock, Mass. or Enfield, Conn. This piece is currently an entry marker in the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, Massachusetts. Yes, the vises actually work and every drawer is shoulder jointed. A perfect center piece for the doll house workroom. Expect 60 - 90 day delivery. This bench works beautifully with our antique hand tools. Be sure to check them out.
