A Cabinet of Curiosities
The exquisite piece showcased in this film is the work of Paul Walsh, an antique furniture restorer living and working in Frome; it was lovingly and painstakingly made from scratch over a period of five years.
It is a one-third scale miniature of an English cabinet-on-chest in walnut, with marquetry of various naturally coloured woods, green-stained bone and sycamore on an Ebony ground. It has a dizzying number of drawers of all shapes and sizes, including eight mysteriously hidden secret ones.
