Yes, along with replicas of chest of drawers. I guess they aren’t too intricate to carve. You do very occasionally find models of dressers & longcase clocks.

A carved Welsh slate model bureau
North Wales circa 1880
Similar pieces of folk art were carved by quarrymen of North Wales and most date from the late 19th century. Many were probably made to decorate their own homes and were given as gifts or entered into competition at local eisteddfodau.
