Gravener Antiques

Description

This chest is in very good and original condition and has a good colour and patina, it also has some unusual features, the brushing slide, unlike most chests of the period, is underneath the top drawer, the drawer linings are in mahogany and when the top drawer is removed there are 2 secret drawers concealed at the back. In addition when the third drawer is taken out, initials I.S. and the date 1783 are inscribed on the back board, these are original to the chest and probably left by the craftsman who made, what must have been, a specially commissioned piece. 850mm high, 860mm wide and 580mm deep.
W J Gravener Antiques is a family owned business, started in 1963 by William who was joined by son, Mark in 1981 and continues today with the same ethos of dealing in fine quality English and Continental furniture, mirrors and decorative objects, from the 18th & 19th centuries. Now under the stewardship of Mark and his wife, Louise, we take pride in maintaining the high standards which William set more than 50 years ago.
