Fine George II Mahogany Chest of Drawers, Circa 1730 – Original Ogee Feet & Brushing Slide

18th century
Description

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.

A collector’s piece of genuine distinction, this chest represents the perfect blend of historical integrity and decorative sophistication, making it an ideal addition to both heritage collections and elegant contemporary interiors.

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

George II furniture, dating from roughly 1727 to 1760, is defined by the widespread introduction of imported mahogany, architectural proportions, and robust construction techniques that transitioned away from earlier walnut veneering.

Chests of drawers from this era were constructed primarily from solid mahogany or walnut, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, oak or pine secondary drawer linings, and cast brass backplate handles secured by hand-threaded nuts.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed wood surfaces, original timber backboards, hand-cast brass hardware, period-correct drawer runners showing natural friction wear, and carved bracket or ogee feet with original supporting corner blocks.

In modern interior schemes, a mahogany chest of drawers acts as a grounding anchor when contrasted against neutral contemporary wall shades, clean-lined modern ceramics, or modern artwork.

Preserve mahogany by dusting regularly with a dry lint-free cloth and applying beeswax once or twice a year, while maintaining stable indoor humidity levels and keeping timber out of direct sunlight.
