18th Century Chippendale Chest of Drawers
About the Item
A superb quality George III Chippendale-period serpentine-fronted chest of drawers. English, c. 1770.
Why we like it
A perfect embodiment of the Chippendale taste: exceptional quality, dramatically figured veneers, and subtle decoration throughout. An extremely rare design with rounded feet and a cluster-column-flanked facade. Pleasing proportions too.
This outstanding chest of drawers belongs to a group of cabinet furniture sharing a number of constructional and decorative elements that allow attribution to the same workshop: a pair of identical serpentine dressing chests from the Geoffrey Blackwell collection, sold at Christie's, London, 7 June 2007, lot 90 (£288,000), and another dressing chest, sold at Christie's, London, 8 July 1999, lot 131 (£122,500). A related serpentine commode was supplied in the 18th century to Thomas Howarth, Esq., for Whittington Hall, Kirkby Lonsdale, Lancashire, and sold at Sotheby’s, London, 3 July 2003, lot 47 (£86,240).
The construction, profile of mouldings, measurements, and handles (original) are identical to the Blackwell commodes, which are similarly decorated with mosaic line inlays.
While the attribution of this undoubtedly important group of furniture requires further research, its superb quality and magnificent design testify that all these pieces originate from one of the leading and most fashionable workshops of the era.
Ready to for placement and immediate use. Beautiful, sensibly restored condition (minor restorations to drawer runners for smooth movement, veneers, etc.), remarkably preserving the original handles. Drawers run smoothly.
