Small world. Nelson miniature chests provide lots of wonderful little places to keep wonderful little things. Offered in several sizes and drawer configurations, with or without pedestals, they make an interesting addition to any room in the home or office. Made with hand-fitted drawers—the kind of craftsmanship designer George Nelson insisted upon in 1952 and that is harder and harder to find.
There's just no getting around this fact: A well-made drawer is fitted by hand. For these chests, our cabinetmakers hand fit each drawer for proper alignment and to ensure that the wood-on-wood drawer glides operate smoothly and will continue to do so. Each model has one jewelry drawer, with dividers, to organize and store small items.
The design of these chests is true to the George Nelson original: The chests are teak, and the six-drawer chests feature a white laminate top. But we have substituted environmentally friendly rosewood stain for the original solid rosewood drawer fronts, because rosewood is now endangered.
Comes in two configurations: a 6 drawer configuration with 2 rows of 3 each, and a single column 9 drawer configuration. Each comes with or without a pedestal base.
