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.

By Etienne Doirat
Located in PARIS, FR
A Regence ormolu-mounted commode by Etienne Doirat (Paris, 1675-1732)
Rare and elegant commode curved on the front and on the sides, in amaranth veneer arranged in sheets in the frames. It opens with four drawers in three rows: two large and two short and asymmetrical .
Rich ornamentation of chiseled and gilt bronzes: the Rococo frontal cartouche, mounts with oak leaf windings, foliated handles and clogs, rosettes on the sides.
Flanders red marble top.
Size: h. 35.04 inch, w. 56.69 inch, d. 33.46 inch
By Etienne Doirat (1675-25 June 1732), Regency period, 18th century
Although not stamped, our commode belongs by its shape and its bronze ornamentations to an identified corpus of the production of Etienne Doirat, one of the most talented cabinetmakers under the Regency.
This group of chests of drawers listed in public and private collections, some of which stamped E. Doirat are characterized by the almost identical front cartouche.
On our chest of drawers, this cartouche is formed by two scalloped lambrequins joined by a clip they are extended by branches with acanthus foliage and flowers with beaded friezes. Inside are two keyholes, the first with a lion's mouth, the second formed by two stylized dolphins facing each other with lion's paws under a valance.
