Antique George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers with Butlers Secretary c. Late 18th
About the Item
This stately George III mahogany chest of drawers with a butler’s secretary is a fine example of late 18th-century English craftsmanship. The piece showcases clean lines and classic proportions, enhanced by the deep, warm patina of its mahogany veneers. The top section features three generously sized drawers, while the lower section houses the hidden butler’s secretary that opens to reveal a meticulously crafted writing surface with an array of small drawers, pigeonholes, and a central cabinet adorned with decorative inlay.
The butler’s secretary was a hallmark of multifunctional furniture design during the Georgian era, allowing for convenient correspondence storage while maintaining the appearance of a grand chest of drawers. This particular example is distinguished by its elegant dentil-molded cornice and original brass bail handles. The dovetail joinery and finely grained mahogany panels speak to the superior quality and attention to detail that characterized period craftsmanship.
There is some minor veneer loss on the front stile below the butler’s secretary and some older repairs on the right rear leg. Additionally, there are light surface scratches and signs of use on the writing surface, as expected with age. These imperfections add to its historical character and serve as a testament to its journey through time. This piece is a stunning combination of function and elegance, making it a timeless addition to any refined interior. 71h x 46w x 23d
