Classic Georgian Chest of Drawers in Walnut and Oak with Crossbanding

About the Item

Antique Georgian chest of drawers: 18th Century and later, crossbanded walnut and oak. Immerse yourself in the timeless allure of this exquisite antique chest of drawers, originating from the Georgian era and dating back to the 18th century. Crafted from crossbanded walnut and oak, this piece exudes a captivating blend of charm, character, and historical significance. As you explore this chest, its unique features unfold. A delightful secret catch adorns the top right-hand drawer, adding a touch of mystery to its storied history. Despite its age, the chest remains structurally sound, with no loose joints, and the oak-lined drawers open, revealing marks inside that bear witness to the passage of time. The overall aesthetic of the chest is defined by its good shape, fantastic proportions, and charming historic waviness and distortion, rendering it not just a piece of furniture but a work of art in its own right. Its dimensions, measuring at 96.5cm in width, 53cm in depth, and 91cm in height, contribute to its overall appeal and functionality. This chest tells a tale through its imperfections - historic knocks, marks, cracks, scratches, wear, and signs of repairs and alterations. True to its authentic nature, the chest showcases the expected wear and tear associated with genuine antique furniture. The absence of keys and untested locks are indicative of its age, with later handles seamlessly integrated. Delving into the intricacies of its construction, there are historic extinct woodworm holes, a common occurrence in 18th-century walnut and oak furniture. Rest assured, these have been treated for preservation. The presence of some veneer replacements, imperfections, and repairs, characteristic of period burr walnut, further attests to its rich history. This antique treasure, identified by Stock No. 4169, invites you to embrace its heritage and become a custodian of its enduring beauty.
