About the Item
We are delighted to offer for sale this important, one of a kind, R Crosby & Son, Victorian Aesthetic Movement, Burr Elm and Oak Wellington Chest of Drawers housing 160 Sulphur casts of Royal and Historical Seals
What a find! This piece has so much going for it I really don’t know where to start, it is of course a Wellington Chest that has been made into a collectors chest. The main body of design and timbers make it Victorian Aesthetic movement and if that weren’t enough, it was made by the genius cabinet makers at R Crosby & Son, those factors alone make this a museum piece but when you add in the 160 antique Sulphur casts, you really are in the top 0.01% of furniture in the entire world
The casts are all period, aged and worn, they look every bit as special and important as you could hope to find
Condition wise they have been deep cleaned, hand condition waxed and hand polished it from top to bottom, the main body has been checked and glued and clamped where required, the piece was made with dowel joints and the weight of the drawers means it had to be kept very strong and stable
The drawers inside and seals have been left as they are, some pieces had come loose from age and transport so there are a couple with chip cracks and breaks in the sulphur, otherwise they are 95% in fine order
