An absolutely superb example of its type this particular tallboy is in exceptionally good clean condition and retains a quite wonderful untouched colour and patina to the mahogany. It has received very little restoration to speak of This particular
of aside from the usual cleaning, polishing and general tidying.
All of the swan neck brass handles are original and all of the drawers still operate and function perfectly which is most certainly down to the quality of the original construction and the high grade secondary timbers used within the carcass and drawer linings of this piece.
Tallboys, or Chest On Chests as they are sometimes known are such useful, functional pieces of furniture. This item is as fit for purpose as the day it was made, with the added bonus of it being very untouched and charming, which is really quite something when you consider that it was originally constructed over 250 years ago.
The ogee feet are not only original, but of a most unusual design pattern which we have not seen before, another example of how special this piece is.
