The straight front features a series of graduated drawers, each retaining a rich, naturally aged patina that highlights the deep character of the timber.
Circa 1790, this period piece was made during the reign of George III - an original work of the late Georgian era.
Constructed from solid mahogany with hand-planed secondary woods, finished with traditional brass drop handles and raised on sturdy bracket feet. Rooted in the Neoclassical tradition, this chest embodies the late 18th century shift toward clean, geometric lines and a sophisticated restraint designed to harmonize with the elegant interiors of the age.
