About the Item

A fine antique early 18th century walnut Queen Anne chest on stand/highboy, dating to the early George I period, circa 1720. This unusually diminutive highboy is made of the finest figured walnut, the highboy having a stepped cornice above two short drawers over three long graduated drawers, the base having a single long drawer. The highboy with period polished brass escutcheons and handles, the chest is raised on stout cabriole legs terminating to splayed pad feet. Very often such period tallboys can have top drawers that are difficult to access, this original chest on stand is of a much more accommodating height, allowing the owner to easily access the top drawers. Condition is very good, the highboy has a lovely rich mellow patina and is ready to grace your space. Provenance; From an early 18th Century Manor House, Shropshire, United Kingdom
