This “Unusual 17thc Geometric Chest of Drawers” found a buyer.

It was listed by Martin Murray Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

A most unusual oak chest of four drawers dating to the late seventeenth century. In two parts with geometric moulding to the drawers in the shape of stars. Side hung drawers, the carcass is of panelled construction which, along with being in two parts makes it easy to manoeuvre difficult winder staircases as it is very light with the drawers removed. The original stile feet appear to have lost no height and one original lock is present. The handles are later period correct replacements and are of a generous size. It has a good rich colour and fine patina. The drawers run well and the piece is in good serviceable condition.

English or possibly Welsh Circa 1670

Furniture from the 17th century, particularly the Jacobean and Commonwealth periods, frequently featured applied geometric mouldings and panels influenced by architectural designs of the time.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid English oak using hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged framing, and applied split turnings to create raised geometric patterns on the drawer fronts.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, hand-split timber boards, original or period replacement hardware, and natural timber oxidisation consistent with centuries of age.

Pairing this historic furniture with clean, minimalist surroundings allows the intricate woodwork and rich patina to serve as a focal point without overwhelming the room.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and apply traditional beeswax periodically to nourish the dry wood without sealing the historical surface.
