Important 18th Century Goncalo Alves Serpentine Chest Signe J N Teague 1779
Located in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
The Documented John Teague 18th Century Goncalo Alves Serpentine Chest of Drawers. Signed ‘J N Teague, Falm, 1779’ The chest showcases exquisite use of Gonçalo Alves, a rare and exotic hardwood renowned for its striking grain patterns, durability, and deep, lustrous patina. This exceptional timber adds a unique richness to the chest’s surface. The chest boasts a gracefully serpentine-shaped front, a hallmark of fine Georgian furniture, lending a sense of fluidity and refinement. Four Graduating Drawers: The chest comprises four oak-lined, full-length drawers, elegantly graduated in size for balance and proportion. Each drawer cock beaded, finely inlaid and retains its original solid brass Rococo handles and escutcheons, enhancing both beauty and authenticity. The beautifully Goncalo Alves top complements the serpentine profile, while subtle moulded edges add definition to the form. The chest is raised on well-proportioned finely inlaid bracket feet, ensuring stability and completing its classic silhouette. This chest reflects the sophistication of mid-18th-century English craftsmanship, where the natural beauty and rarity of Goncalo Alves was celebrated for its rich grain, depth, and durability. The serpentine front—a feature highly prized in period furniture—demonstrates the cabinetmaker’s skill in shaping and finishing. Condition: Good condition with a warm, well-aged patina consistent with age and use. Minor signs of wear, enhancing the character and authenticity of the piece. Dimensions: Available on request This elegant Georgian chest of drawers represents the perfect combination of form, function, and timeless style. Its gracefully shaped design and exceptional craftsmanship make it a standout piece for any discerning collector or classic interior.    Provenance Beard and Gilbert (C), Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660 - 1840, published by FHS, 1986, p. 880 as ‘J.
