Rare circa 1780 Continental Parquetry Marquetry Inlaid Commode Chest of Drawers

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale very rare circa 1780 Continental Parquetry and Marquetry inlaid chest of drawers A very good looking and highly decorative chest of drawers, they are heavily inlaid on all visible sides, the work is absolutely sublime with very few losses which are a credit to the craftsmanship. The drawers are made from Walnut and fruitwood hence the mixture of colours The drawers include 2 original keys, the locks are temperamental but they work, not bad considering they are the best part of 240 years old from new We have lightly restored them to include a clean wax and polish, I can have them fully restored to include replacing the couple of small pieces of timber and then a wash back and French polish to make them gallery ready. I haven’t done it because they don’t need the work and I believe in keeping antique furniture with the original patina however if the new owner wishes I can have it priced up accordingly Dimensions: Height 88cm Width 106cm Depth 60cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
