Comprising of a two-over-three graduated drawer design, the drawers boast primitive hand dovetailing and feature old replacement (most likely Georgian) brass swan neck handles and original shaped brass etched escutcheons. The bottom drawer incorporates the original working lock, with key (the key does not worth the other drawers).

The chest is constructed of solid oak, with pine lined hand-dovetailed drawer linings it also retains its original pine backboards. The drawers are in good working order they are clean inside and close flush to the frame. The chest stands on its original bracket feet: it is of extremely good quality and is made from the best materials thus, it is very heavy to lift!

The chest features a rich deep oxblood oak colour, with a wonderful grain configuration to the front and sides. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.

This item would look superb in a variety of rooms, especially the bedroom. This chest of drawers would certainly grace any home. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of antique furniture.
