Description:
This is a fine quality antique Irish Georgian chest on chest, constructed of solid oak, boasting a stunning Secretaire desk interior, in the Chippendale design, circa 1780, in excellent condition. The tallboy oak chest comprises a moulded dentil cornice to the top section, with elegant blind fretwork canted corners, to the top and lower chests. The highboy chest consists of two halves, with a moulded waist to the base section. The top section is smaller than the bottom section, with a proportionately balanced waist.
The Irish Georgian chest on chest comprises eight drawers, with three smaller drawers and two full-width drawers to the top section, and a further three drawers to the base section. The drawers are oak lined, constructed with hand dovetail joints and finished with cock-beaded fronts. They also retain their original working locks, with working key to some of the drawers. The top four drawers were not designed with locks. The secretaire drawer and drawers to the lower section retain the original lever locks (with key). The drawers are decorated with later very good quality brass swan neck handles & fretwork escutcheons.
Disguised as a third full-width drawer to the top section, is a lockable pull-out secretaire desk section. The drawer front fall is secured by its original iron hooks on either side of the shaped drawer lining and opens to form a writing surface, held in place by red cord. The secretaire interior comprises eight pigeonhole slots, with decorative domed ceilings
and a combination of eight drawers, with two featuring elegant shaped fronts and the original brass knobs. The drawers sits either side of a ‘cubby hole’ with a mirrored door, which retains the original glass and lever door lock (with key).
The bottom chest of drawers’ section comprises three long graduated drawers, which all retain their original locks, with working key. The Irish Georgian chest on chest sits on a simple moulded apron, terminating on its original moulded bracket feet. The chest retains its original backboards. The oak tallboy is a two-piece chest it dismantles into two sections for easy transport and access into the house. This is an ideal item for the bedroom or landing as it provides significant storage space for clothes, as well as a space-saving solution for an at-home workspace. The highboy chest boasts a stunning rich oak colour and patination this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This Georgian secretaire chest on chest would look superb in either a traditional or contemporary setting, 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 Irish Georgian chest on chest would certainly grace any home. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.

Condition Report:
This is a fine quality antique Irish Georgian chest on chest, constructed of solid oak, boasting a stunning Secretaire desk interior, in the Chippendale design, circa 1780, in excellent condition. Nominal old use marks to the cornice, leading edges, frame, sides, drawer bottoms, and writing surface, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The oak tallboy chest has been cleaned and traditionally French polished by hand in our workshop, to a professional standard, therefore, the finish, colour and patination is of a high standard. The original oak lined drawers are constructed with quality hand dovetail joints, around a moulded drawer frame. The drawer fronts are decorated with later top-quality brass swan neck handles and fretwork backplates. The drawers close flush to the frame. They also retain their original working locks, with working key to some of the drawers. The top four drawers were not designed with locks. The secretaire drawer and drawers to the lower section retain the original lever locks (with key). The secretaire desk compartment pulls out smoothly and is secured by red cord. The highboy chest stands on its original bracket feet and incorporates the original backboards. It is well constructed, solid in joint, does not wobble and is ready to be used.
