18th Century Oak Geometric Moulded Chest of Drawers
DESCRIPTION
An attractive 18th-century oak chest of drawers, with a particularly decorative geometric moulded front. The rectangular moulded top sits above four graduated long drawers, each applied with bold geometric mouldings and fitted with brass drop handles and pierced escutcheons. The chest has panelled sides and stands on stile feet enclosed by shaped brackets. The warm oak, substantial proportions and architectural drawer fronts give the chest considerable character. A handsome and practical piece of early country furniture, offering generous storage and displaying very well.
 
DIMENSIONS
Height: 92 cm 
Width: 95 cm
Depth: 57 cm
 
CONDITION
Solid and stable, with all four drawers running smoothly. The chest has undergone significant historic restoration and alteration, including refinishing. The original side-hung drawer runners have been removed and replaced with runners beneath the drawers. The bracket feet and brassware are later. There are some losses and replacements to the applied geometric mouldings, with a few sections not fitting or aligning perfectly, possibly following earlier removal and reattachment. There is a small amount of historic woodworm to the top, together with some staining, marks, knocks and general wear commensurate with age and use.
 
Overall, a handsome and substantial 18th-century chest which remains very usable and retains plenty of period character despite its historic alterations.
 
As an antique or vintage piece, signs of age and use should be expected and are part of its character. The photographs form an important part of the description and should be viewed alongside the written condition report.

    ​

    Every item is individually inspected, researched and professionally photographed, with clear descriptions and honest condition reports to help you buy with confidence.
