DESCRIPTION

A fine George III mahogany bachelor's chest of drawers, dating from the late eighteenth century, circa 1770.

Constructed in richly figured flame mahogany, the chest is of particularly desirable compact proportions, making it equally suited to a bedroom, hallway or reception room. The moulded top sits above a useful brushing slide and four graduated long drawers, each retaining oak linings and fitted with brass swan-neck handles. The chest stands on bracket feet and displays the elegant proportions and restrained craftsmanship characteristic of the George III period.

Compact Georgian chests of this quality remain highly sought after for their versatility and timeless design. This example retains an excellent colour and mellow patina acquired over more than two centuries and would make an attractive addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

DIMENSIONS

Height: 82 cm

Width: 83 cm

Depth: 51 cm

CONDITION

There are the expected marks, knocks and scratches commensurate with age and use. The brass handles are period replacements. There is evidence of historic, well-executed restoration, including localised veneer repairs and replacement of one runner for the brushing slide. The moulding to the left-hand front corner of the top sits slightly proud and the brushing slide operates a little stiffly. Minor splits are present to some of the oak drawer linings. The drawers run well, the joints remain solid and the chest presents beautifully overall with an attractive colour and rich patina.
