Georgian Chippendale Chest of Drawers
About the Item
A fine quality Chippendale period chest of drawers in beautifully figured mahogany.
English, c. 1770
Why we like it
We have chosen it for its sturdy proportions, superb quality and a great choice of veneers. A very handsome and masculine piece of furniture.
The top drawer fitted with various lidded compartments and a sliding easel mirror. Great quality brass handles, original feet, the key is present. All oak-lined drawers slide freely and smoothly, the piece is ready to be placed and enjoyed.
Such simple and practical pieces intended for everyday use and 'done in a neat but not an expensive manner', to the same high quality standards as the more sophisticated examples, consisted a significant part of Thomas Chippendale's oeuvre.

- 18th Century, Architectural Model of Doric ColumnLocated in London, GBAn extremely rare, exquisite architectural model of a Doric column England, third quarter of 18th century. Why we like it Exquisitely carved and having accents picked out in gold, this extremely rare survivor from the golden era of Classical architecture in Britain was perhaps intended for an architect's office, or for a study of a gentleman architect, such as Lord Burlington (1694–1753), who was famously known as the "Apollo of the Arts" and the "Architect Earl". Such exquisite and decorative objects were copied from ancient Greek and Roman originals, that aspiring architects could see and draw during their 'Grand Tour' in Italy, Greece, Ottoman Empire and etc. The only other comparable example of such rare objects that we came across was a set of three columns, previously owned by the late Sir Albert Richardson (1880–1964), architect, historian, writer, artist, teacher and sometime President of the Royal Academy – sold by Christie’s London, 19 September...Category
