About the Item

A fine quality mid-19th century, victorian, burr walnut childs chest, of useful proportions, having well figured top over six drawers with replacement brass knobs enclosed by locking pilaster, raised on original plinth base. Childs size examples of the typical wellington chest of drawers are generally much rarer to find than their full size counterparts, particularly ones like this which are quite a bit nicer than the norm. This is constructed from a very high grade of highly figured, rich walnut which retains an exceptional colour and patina and also the secondary timbers used are of the highest quality, with mahogany drawer linings for example. This is an incredibly useful, functional and practical piece of furniture around the modern home of course, absolutely perfect for a whole host of places, including as a coffee table beside a settee or chair, as a bedside table, or even as an additional storage piece in a bedroom or office, offering great solutions. The item comes with working lock and key and just like all the items which we offer for sale it has been attended to in our workshops, by our highly skilled and trained, traditional antique furniture restorers, where it has received a general clean and tidy plus natural beeswax to ensure it is ready for immediate use once sold. Circa 1860. Height 22.5in. Width 14.75in. Depth 10.5in.
