This tall 19th-century Irish chest of drawers follows a Georgian design tradition and employs light mahogany timber with a warm brown finish. The case is constructed in narrow proportions and incorporates a moulded cornice above seven graduated drawers. Each drawer has oak linings and features swan-neck brass drop handles secured with matching backplates. The furniture piece rests on shaped bracket feet decorated with simple cut-out profiles along the base rails. The wood surface shows natural grain variations and subtle patination consistent with a date around 1840. The piece measures 144 cm high, 91 cm wide, and 35 cm deep, providing substantial vertical storage capacity while occupying a compact footprint on the floor. It fits well in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway to store folded garments, linens, or accessories.

FAQs

Irish Georgian furniture is recognized for its robust construction, distinctive foot shapes such as carved bracket or apron feet, and deep, warm mahogany finishes that reflect 18th-century cabinetmaking traditions.

Primary timbers typically consist of solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, with secondary timbers like pine or oak used for drawer linings, complemented by cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, irregular tool marks on unexposed surfaces, natural oxidisation on drawer bottoms, and original cast brass drop handles.

A vertically proportioned chest adds vertical interest to tight spaces such as hallways, alcoves, or dressing rooms, providing functional storage while contrasting with clean modern architecture.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and extreme heat sources to prevent cracking.
