17th Century English Oak And Walnut Chest

About the Item

An English oak and walnut chest of drawers. Charles II period (1630-1685). The drawer fronts with walnut inserts of super colour. The substantial moulded top has cleated ends. Containing four full-length pull-out drawers, the top drawer fitted with divisions, and centered by an unusual applied carved panel. All drawers with side runners typical of 17th-century construction. Raised on short ‘stile’ feet. The ends are paneled, and the base retains the original bold moulding. Brass key escutcheons apparently original, the ring handles are 18th-century replacements - which are very much in keeping. Excellent condition overall, with an old waxed surface of very good, rich color. A very versatile antique chest for use in any room

  • 17th Century Oak Refectory Table, Charles II Period
    Located in Lymington, GB
    A rare English 17th-century oak refectory table. Charles II period, ca 1675. The three-plank cleated detachable top is of superb color, figuring and patination. Raised on six baluster supports united by stretchers. The frieze is guilloche-carved on all four sides: this demonstrates that this table can be free-standing. Many of these were only carved on three sides. This versatile refectory table can be used as a hall table, dining table, serving table, or a wonderful kitchen table. A number of early oak pieces which we have sold have harmonized very well with modern interiors. A similar-sized refectory table (in generally poor condition) sold for £17,000.00 plus buyer's premium, in Duke's auctioneers ATHELHAMPTON HOUSE sale, Puddletown, Dorset, UK, 9th Oct, 2019. Nb. The turning of the supports on this antique table indicates a development away from an earlier, heavy, carved bulbous leg, to a simpler baluster leg of the later-seventeenth century. However the guilloche-carved frieze is a hint of an earlier period. Some historic restoration commensurate with 350 years of use. Dimensions: 8’5’' L. (256.5 cm) 2’8’' W. (81 cm) 2'7'’ H. (79 cm).
