About the Item
An English William & Mary-period oyster laburnum and walnut chest, circa 1700.
William lll (1650-1702).
A classic oyster-veneered chest of two short and three long graduated drawers all faced with exquisite oyster veneers banded in fruitwood. The top with well-chosen oyster inlays contained within contrasting borders. Note the small detailed roundel within the top circle.
Of deep rich colour and in superb condition throughout, raised on the original bracket feet - which dates this to circa 1700 (the approximate date of the transition from bun feet of the late-17th century).
