DESCRIPTION

A handsome George III mahogany chest-on-chest dating from the last quarter of the eighteenth century. The upper section is surmounted by a moulded dentil cornice above two short and three long graduated drawers, flanked by reeded canted corners. The lower section is fitted with a further three graduated drawers and stands on carved bracket feet.

The drawers are oak lined, reflecting the quality of its original construction. Well proportioned and offering excellent storage, this is a practical and attractive piece of late Georgian furniture.

DIMENSIONS

Height: 182cm

Width: 104cm

Depth: 52cm

CONDITION

The chest is in good, solid condition and remains structurally sound. There is a key present that appears to be decorative only (does not work the locks). There are minor scratches, stains, knocks and other signs of age and use. There are some shrinkage splits, including to the left and right side panels, the front of the upper right-hand drawer, and the top drawer of the lower section. Some areas of veneer have been repaired during its lifetime, primarily one piece approximately 2cm long to the right hand side of the top section, and the brass handles are replacements. Overall, the chest presents well as an honest eighteenth-century piece with wear commensurate with its age and use.

ABOUT ALSO ANTIQUES

Thank you for viewing this piece from ALSO Antiques.

We carefully select antique furniture and decorative objects for their quality, craftsmanship, character and individuality. Our tastes are broad, and we’re happy to be led by the piece rather than a particular period or style. Above all, we choose things we genuinely admire and would be happy to have in our own home.

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

We believe good furniture should have a long life. Choosing antique keeps well-made furniture and existing materials in use, and we favour sympathetic restoration that preserves the patina and character acquired over generations.

VIEWING

Viewing is welcome by appointment at our premises in North Yorkshire, close to the Lancashire border. If there is anything you would like to know before purchasing, we are always happy to answer questions, provide additional photographs or check particular measurements.

DELIVERY & COLLECTION

Collection is welcome by arrangement.

We can usually arrange delivery throughout mainland UK using trusted independent furniture couriers, charged at cost. As a general guide, delivery for an average-sized chest of drawers is typically £80–£100. Larger items and more remote locations will incur higher charges.

Most deliveries are completed within approximately two weeks, although faster delivery may sometimes be available. Standard delivery is to the ground floor unless otherwise agreed, and the courier will normally contact you in advance with the proposed delivery arrangements.

AUTHENTICITY & CONDITION

We strive to describe every item as accurately and honestly as possible. Statements regarding age, attribution, origin and provenance are offered in good faith and represent our professional opinion based on the information available at the time of listing.

As all of our items are antique or vintage, signs of age and use should be expected. Old repairs, knocks, wear, variations in colour and other minor imperfections are often part of a piece’s history and character. Where condition affects its integrity, appearance or usefulness, we will endeavour to make this clear in the description.
