This is a beautifully proportioned 19th-century French walnut chest of drawers dating to the Louis Philippe period.

This chest of drawers features a concealed drawer under the rounded corner top within the frieze.

Below this are three full-width drawers with original elegant bronze drop handles and central escutcheons. Both the handles and escutcheons feature double swans and floral decoration. There are three working locks with key supplied.

This fine example of a Louis Philippe chest of drawers has a striking appearance of wild grain running throughout with two solid planks of walnut for the top. The chest stands on low, slightly splayed feet.

The drawers run smoothly and the piece is structurally sound with some minor age-related marks, presenting a warm, mellow patina developed over decades of careful service.

Having been professionally checked over, cleaned and re-polished in the traditional method with wax, it will give many years of service. See less
