Iulia Chin Lee,
MFA, makes beautiful furniture. From a curly maple 18th century chair
or an early American ladder-back chair to a tilt-top tea table or
an antique walnut table with barley twist legs and a drawer, they
are all truly spectacular. She also turns wooden vessels of cherry,
mahogany, oak and walnut. They are all one of a kind from measured
drawings by her and others. They have tongue and groove joints and
dovetail joints throughout. But they are small, very small objects.
The miniature furniture is 1/12th and ¼ the size of the actual
pieces that she copies. They are doll and doll house size but you
will not notice in the pictures because her miniature furniture is
scaled down in true artist style, retaining the perfect proportions
of the originals. Many of her miniatures are made of antique woods.
Almost all of her miniature furniture has hand rubbed finishes that
glow like the antiques she copies. Cupboards, room panels, tables,
chairs, turnings and cups and saucers with beautiful oil and shellac
finishes or hand painted. Take a look through these pages of Chin
Lee Miniatures and find the absolute perfection this talented artist
creates in miniature furniture. |
