Antique Victorian Chevron Veneer Tall Chest, Circa 1890s – Original Pulls & Turned Legs
Full Description
An elegant late 19th-century American tall chest featuring a striking chevron-pattern veneer top drawer, rich mahogany-tone casework, and original brass drawer pulls. This five-drawer Victorian chest stands gracefully on turned legs and retains its original casters, showcasing craftsmanship typical of the 1890s era.
The upper drawer features beautifully laid chevron veneer, adding architectural interest and visual depth. The lower drawers display warm, flowing wood grain with classic proportions and balanced symmetry. Original brass pulls remain intact, complementing the aged patina and reinforcing its authenticity.
This piece offers generous vertical storage while maintaining a refined footprint, making it ideal for bedrooms, guest rooms, or layered traditional interiors. Its age-appropriate surface wear adds character without detracting from structural integrity or functionality.

The original finish has been preserved and shows expected signs of wear including surface scratches, minor scuffs, small finish variations, and areas of age-related patina. The chevron veneer drawer exhibits typical antique veneer movement and subtle tonal variation but remains stable and intact. There are minor finish rubs along edges and corners, light surface wear on the drawer fronts, and age-consistent marks visible upon close inspection. The original brass drawer pulls are present and show natural patination consistent with period hardware. All drawers open and close properly. Construction remains solid and structurally sound. No major structural repairs or modern alterations are noted. As with all antique furniture, normal wear consistent with age should be expected and is considered part of the piece’s character and authenticity. less
