This shaped chest combines classic English design with excellent modern cabinetmaking.
Veneered in walnut with yew burl banding, the commode has a break inverted bowed top that follows the contours of the case. Below are three inverted bowed, line-strung walnut drawers, offering a subtle contrast of grain and tone. The upper section incorporates a sliding tray, with three long drawers beneath providing ample storage.
Turned, tapering columns flank the drawer fronts, lending structure, symmetry and a pleasing architectural quality. The chest stands on fluted peg feet with brass caps, which add both stability and a refined decorative finish. The careful use of veneers, stringing and banding showcases the crisp, high-quality workmanship throughout.
This model remains in production today and can still be ordered new from Brights of Nettlebed, underlining both the quality and enduring desirability of the design.
