Description

A late 17th century oak moulded chest of drawers with carved panels to the ends.

This chest of drawers consists of a three plank top with a moulded edge leading down to four long drawers.

Interestingly this chest has an early use of recycling. The reuse of the carved rail to the inside of the chest and the carved lunette panels to the ends, indicate that earlier wall paneling was broken up and incorporated into this chest of drawers.

Date of Manufacture

Dickinsons Antiques has dated this Jacobean Moulded Oak Chest to the 17th Century.

Maintain historical oak by dusting regularly with a lint-free cloth and applying beeswax sparingly once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent timber movement.

Integrate the dark oak tones alongside contemporary artwork, neutral wall paints, or modern lighting to create a grounded contrast between historic craftsmanship and clean architectural lines.

Authentic pieces feature wooden peg joinery, heavy timber framing, side-hung drawer construction, natural oxidisation on internal pine or oak boards, and period-appropriate hardware.

Chests from the late 17th century were typically constructed from native English oak, featuring hand-cut joinery, drawer side-runners, brass tear-drop drop handles, and decorative brass escutcheons.

A 17th-century Jacobean chest of drawers is characterised by solid oak construction, geometric applied mouldings across drawer fronts, and a transition from traditional chest coffers to modern front-opening storage drawers.
