a highly decorative late 17th/early 18th century walnut chest of drawers, circa 1700. It is extensively veneered with richly figured and oyster-cut veneers, arranged in striking geometric patterns throughout.

the rectangular top is centred by an elaborate circular and geometric veneered design, the four graduated drawers similarly decorated with contrasting feather-banded panels, and have brass handles and escutcheons. The sides are particularly impressive, each centred by a bold series of concentric circles in contrasting veneers.

raised on bun feet, the chest has exceptional visual presence, with a wonderful depth of colour and beautifully figured veneers throughout.
