A Very Good Quality Mid 19th Century Mahogany Pedestal Chest, Having Well Figured Rectangular Top Over Five Drawers Retaining Original Turned Wooden Knobs, Raised On Original Plinth To Bottom.

This excellent quality mid 19th century victorian period chest of drawers is incredibly attractive due to the well figured, rich mahogany used for its construction. It also retains its original victorian turned wooden knobs, which for many will be a pleasant change and different look to those which have received brass replacements.

Overall the quality of the construction is excellent, as mentioned the maker has used very high grade mahogany on the exterior and also lovely solid oak for the interior drawer linings, which has resulted in the drawers still “running”, which means opening and closing, perfectly even to this day.

Overall this is an incredibly functional article of antique furniture, as fit for purpose as the day it was made and stylistically, very much like the more commonly found wellington chest, it offers a slightly different perspective as well as practicality to any room.

There are working locks and keys and there is next to know restoration to speak of. As with all items which we offer for sale this victorian chest of drawers has been inspected, and attended to, by our highly skilled, trained antique furniture restorers in our workshops before being presented for sale ensuring that it is ready for immediate placement within the home or office.
