Here is a fine quality George III solid oak chest on chest, circa 1800, of handsome design and in good original condition. It originates from the border area between England and Wales, in the counties of Shropshire, Hereford or the Welsh side, in Powys. Constructed during the latter part of the George III period, it consists of two halves and incorporates ebony and satinwood string inlaid cavetto cornice. An elegant central shell motif inlay is displayed below the cornice, flanked by vertical hexagonal ebony and string inlay sections. The frame of the top section features chamfered reeded columns to the front corners. An elegant horizontal double moulding separates the two chests. The top section consists of three small drawers above three wide graduated drawers below. The drawer fronts are finished with fine mouldings. The central small top drawer never incorporated a turned drawer knob - we believe this was to enhance the aesthetic design. There are four graduated drawers to the lower section, with a shallow top drawer, most likely used to store cravats, ties and other neck wear that was fashionable at the time. A lovely oak grain configuration and colour is prominent to the drawer fronts. The drawers feature the original turned oak knobs (which we have polished) along with the original brass key escutcheons and working lever locks and keys. The drawers are pine lined and hand dovetailed. The sides of the chests are also constructed from solid oak. The whole of the chest stands on its original carved ogee bracket feet.

The chest boasts a rich warm red and brown oak colour. 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 from the hallway, to the living room or bedroom and is very useful as there are so many storage drawers. This item would certainly grace any home. So don't miss out your chance to own a lovely piece of antique furniture.

Condition Report:
The chest is in good original condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges but nothing significant considering the age of the item. All the drawers retain the original oak knobs (which have been wax polished). The 10 drawers, which feature key escutcheons, also feature their original working lever locks (with a working key). The drawers close flush to the frame. This oak chest retains its original polish, which is why it boasts a fantastic rich colour and patination. There has been minor restoration to the back of the chest to repair some of the vertical boards. The chest also stands on its original carved bracket feet. It is solid in joint, does not wobble and is ready to use.

We offer free delivery to mainland England, Wales, and Southern Scotland (anywhere south of Stirling). We do not offer free delivery to locations north of Stirling in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or any British Islands off the mainland for example, the Isle of Man, Isle of White and Channel Islands. If you live in one of the areas where we do not offer free delivery, please contact us for a delivery quote before purchasing the item. Delivery will be made by our specialised antique furniture delivery service, or in some cases we will use a courier service for distant deliveries.

Delivery times are usually 1-4 weeks depending on location we aim to deliver the majority of items within 2 weeks. All items are professionally packaged and fully insured in transit, therefore, we can assure you, your items will be securely protected in transit and arrive safely with you.

Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.

We will also provide you with our shippers' contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It's helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.

In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item. If you are not able to lift items yourself, we ask that you have someone on hand at the time of delivery to assist our shipper with lifting the item.

A free 14-day “no quibble” returns policy (from the date you receive the item) is available if you are not happy with this item.

We will collect returns using our own specialist antique furniture delivery company. We will not accept returns via a courier service (due to experience of damaged items in transit).
