Early 18th Century Walnut Chest Of Drawers

About the Item

An Extremely Attractive Early 18th Century, William And Mary Period, Walnut Chest, Of Exceptional Colour And Patina Throughout, Having Attractive Quarter Veneered Top With Geometric Pattern Crossbanding And Herringbone Inlaid Decoration, Over Two Short And Three Long Superbly Figured Drawers With Replacement Brass Handles, Flanked By Well Figured Ends With Wide Crossbanded Decoration, Raised On Replacement Turned Bun Feet. For an item of furniture which is well over 300 years old it is amazing to note that this chest of drawers  is as fit for purpose as the day it was made. It has also remained in remarkably good condition for an item which would doubtless have encountered heavy usage and almost certainly some relatively rough treatment throughout its existence. There is varying amounts of crossbanded and herrringbone inlaid decoration throughout the top, sides and drawer fronts. It is always a sign of great quality and craftsmanship when a cabinet maker has put as much effort into the sides of an item like this as they did the top and drawers. The handles and feet are all replaced, but this is extremely common for items of this age. The replacements are totally in keeping with what the chest would originally have had and therefore look extremely appropriate on the piece. There is no doubt at all that this chest of drawers is both beautiful and functional and would suit a whole variety of spaces around the home in which it may be required. As with all items which we offer for sale it has been inspected by our highly skilled antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish in the traditional manner before being offered for sale. Circa 1700. Height 36in. Width 38.75in. Depth 23.25in.
