George II walnut tallboy with sunburst
 
Here we are very pleased to offer you a George II walnut tallboy with Sunburst.
 
This wonderful tallboy/ chest on chest was made circa 1725. This superb tallboy was purchased from a fine and important home near the River Test.
 
The cabinetmaker selected fine figured walnut veneers with sections of burr for the drawers, also he selected character walnut to the sides, with large oysters to both top and bottom sections.
 
The George II walnut tallboy is made in 2 sections, this allows easy transportation to and around your home.
 
The top half is fitted with 3 drawers along the top and a further 3 graduated drawers under. All the drawers are cross-banded and with herringbone inlay, and then the striking period pierced brass handles.
 
It has canted corners with fine fluting.
 
The base section is fitted the brushing slide, where a gentleman would have his valet press his clothes before wearing. This slide pulls out using the axe head brass pulls.
 
It also is fitted 3 graduated drawers, the bottom drawer with the magnificent sunburst inlay, a most desirable feature. An inlaid sunburst is rare and gives a tallboy a with this special feature an extra desirability.
 
It stands on straight bracket feet.
 
Imagine the pride of owning this magnificent chest on chest, and the amount of wonderful storage it will provide.
