Constructed in the relatively typical fashion for an early Georgian chest of drawers it features very rare and not often found small proportions, which in combination with the rich colour and surface and highly figured walnut veneers, combine to create a beautiful and well made piece of early 18th century english furniture.

The chest ahas replacement brass handles which are old, and almost certainly of the exact type which would have been in place when it was first made. It also retains its original bracket feet, not something many chests of drawers which are over 300 years old can claim.

As mentioned above the size is also incredibly rare, you just don’t find many antique chest of drawers this size, especially ones that look like this and remain in such fabulous condition.

This wonderful early 18th century georgian english chest of drawers is quite simply a beautiful piece of antique furniture, whilst also of course being incredibly practical and functional for modern day living. In fact it is just as functional today, in the 21st century, as it was the day it was made, in the 18th century.
