Fine George II Mahogany Chest of Drawers, Circa 1730 – Original Ogee Feet & Brushing Slide
This exceptional George II mahogany chest of drawers dates to circa 1730 and exemplifies the understated elegance of early 18th-century English design. Crafted from solid mahogany with a rich, time-earned patina, it features four finely graduated, oak-lined drawers—each with its original English cock beading, a hallmark of superior period craftsmanship.
A particularly rare and desirable detail is the integrated brushing slide, positioned above the top drawer. Originally used for garment preparation or writing, it remains both functional and evocative of the chest’s refined Georgian origins.
The piece stands proudly on its original ogee bracket feet and retains its original brass handles and escutcheons, now mellowed with age to a soft verdigris hue. Minor, sympathetic restorations have preserved its structure and surface without compromising authenticity.
