17th Century Oyster Laburnum Low Chest of drawers

About the Item

An exceptional and very rare mid 17th century Charles II olive wood chest of drawers of low proportions Veneered with 'oyster-cut" veneers of olive wood and crossbanded in Holly with a geometric pattern to the top and large inlaid circles to each side. This is a superb example of hugely appealing small proportions and in glorious condition. Believed to date from about 1665 to 1675 with plain-box drawer construction without runners and early hand-cut dovetail joints. Feet have been replaced with good looking authentic copies.
