Nelson Miniature Chests

Nelson Miniature Chests

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.

These small chests are so delightful that it seemed only right to make them in a variety of configurations.

The six-drawer chest. Drawers arranged vertically or in two rows of three, with white laminate top. With or without pedestal base. A chest without pedestal can sit on top of another piece of furniture; brass glides add protection. With the pedestal base, the six-drawer chest is like a small table with drawers.
