Miniature Red and Blue Two Drawer Cigar Box Chest fraktur painting and the figure to his

and the figure  to his right with serenely attentive expression and arms locked gracefully behind him

as if he might just float like this everywhere and forever

Some light dings and wear to the surface

heavy and not pliable

which feels as much like a sculpture as a utilitarian object

Miniature Red and Blue Two Drawer Cigar Box Chest fraktur painting and the figure to hisThis sweet, cheerful miniature chest stands 6 inches tall, and I'd think was lovingly crafted by a parent or grandparent to house doll clothes or dishes or who knows what all? Removing the drawers reveals the top of the chest at least was made from cigar box wood, and the underside of the drawers suggests maybe soap boxes? A terrific blue and red paint job makes it pop, with orange on the the knobs. 1940s or so I'd think? 6" tall x 5" wide x 4 3 8"
