This Regency chest of drawers is a handsome example of period furniture, rendered in figured mahogany with a rich, dark reddish-brown timber colour. The case comprises four graduated drawers with oak linings, each fitted with two embossed brass flush handles and central key escutcheons. Fine details include a cross-banded top edged with a line of satinwood inlay, a pretty shaped apron along the bottom, and elegant splayed bracket feet supporting the structure. It measures 91 cm high, 91 cm wide and 47 cm deep. In a contemporary interior, this functional storage piece suits placement in a bedroom, dressing room or hallway to hold folded clothing, linens or daily accessories. The classic proportions and warm timber tones integrate smoothly into traditional or transitional room schemes, providing both surface display space and deep drawer storage while anchoring the surrounding decor with traditional British craftsmanship.

FAQs

Regency period chests of drawers, produced between approximately 1811 and 1830, are characterised by clean classical lines, refined proportions, and the prominent use of rich woods such as figured mahogany. They frequently feature graduated drawers, fine stringing inlays, and bracket or splayed feet.

High-quality Regency furniture typically utilises flame or figured mahogany veneers applied over pine or oak carcases, with hand-cut dovetail drawer joints and solid brass hardware. Drawers often feature oak or pine linings alongside cockbeaded edges.

Authentic pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, original steel locks or brass escutcheons, hand-cut asymmetric dovetails, and genuine age-related wear inside the drawer runners. The underside and back panels generally show rough-sawn pine or oak backboards.

A Regency chest functions well as a focal storage piece in a bedroom, hallway, or living room, serving as a base for modern lighting, framed artwork, or ceramics. Its deep timber tones contrast effectively with neutral wall palettes.

Preserve mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight, central heating vents, and damp conditions to prevent wood shrinkage or finish bleaching. Regular dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and periodic applications of beeswax polish maintain the patinated surface.
