A MINIATURE DRY SINK TYPICAL OF THE PERIOD C. 1820. THIS IS ONE OF FOUR MINIATURE PIECES PURCHASED FROM A LOCAL ESTATE. WE KNOW THEY HAVE AGE, BUT WE HAVE NO WAY OF AUTHENTICATING WHEN THEY WERE ACTUALLY MADE. HOWEVER, ALL OF THE JOINTS LOOK TO BE MORTISE AND TENON. IN FACT, THE TWO LITTLE DOORS ARE MORTISED AND TENON CLEAR THRU AND HELD TOGETHER WITH TWO WOOD PINS ON EACH CORNER. THE DRAWER IS MADE WITH TINY DOVETAILS. THE DRAWER BOTTOM AND THE BACK BOARDS ARE CHAMFERRED PANELS. THE BACK IS NAILED ON WITH LITTLE SQUARE NAILS. THE PAINT LOOKS GREAT AND ORIGINAL BUT IN THE PICTURES IT LOOKS MORE LIKE POWDERED BLUE BUT IT ACTUALLY IS MORE GRAY. THIS LITTLE DRYSINK IS ONE OF THE MOST REALISTIC LOOKING MINIATURES WE HAVE EVER SEEN. IT IS REALLY SMALL, MEASURING 10' long, 6 3/4" high, and 5" deep. IT LOOKS TO BE MADE OF PINE OR POPLAR. A VERY UNIQUE PIECE FOR ANY MINIATURE COLLECTION. WE HAVE PUT A RESERVE ON THIS PIECE TO PROTECT OUR INVESTMENT. SHIPPING IS $18. We accept money order and PAYPAL.
