About the Item

Tallboy with two bodies of a type very common in England (and English related furniture) that has three drawers in its lower part and four in the upper, all with handle fittings (one missing) decorated, and with locks with shield elements of classicist influence. This style can also be seen in the columns that flank the upper part (grooved shaft, base and capital in gold metal) and in the crown molding. It is necessary to emphasize the similarity of the present example with other Georgian "tallboy" from around 1770. This type of furniture seems to have emerged in England in the late 17th century derived from "commodes" and were often made in mahogany, being much more common in the 18th century, also extending through North America. Size: 53 x 110 x 176 cms.
