Georgian 18th Century Walnut Chest Of Drawers (England, circa 1720)
Georgian 18th Century Walnut Chest Of Drawers (England, circa 1720)
A Very Good Quality Ealry 18th Century, George I Period Walnut Chest, Having Exceptionally Figured Quarter Veneered Rectangular Top, With Attractive Geometric Inlaid Decoration, Over Two Short And Three Long Drawers With Replacement Brass Handles, Flanked By Attractive Inlaid And Banded Ends, Raised On Original Shaped Bracket Feet.
For an item of furniture which is over 300 years old it is amazing to note that it is as fit for purpose as the day it was made. It has also remained in remarkably good condition for something that would no doubt have borne heavy usage over the majority of its life.
There is intricate and extremely unusual inlaid decoration to the top, along with further inlay decoration to all of the drawers. This design of inlay is really quite striking and very unusual, we think it really adds to the chest, especially with the way it is laid out in a geometric pattern on the top.
The handles are all replaced, which is extremely common for items of this age. The replacements are totally in keeping with what the chest would originally have had and therefore look perfectly appropriate on the piece. Please also note that although all of the brass handles match, there are small differences in design between each of the three lock escutcheons down the middle of the three long drawers. The differences are very minor and they are very much all along the same theme.
This chest of drawers is certainly both beautiful and functional and would suit a whole variety of spaces around the home in which it may be required.
As with all items which we offer for sale it has been inspected by our highly skilled antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish in the traditional manner before being offered for sale.
