Description

An Exceptional 18th Century Walnut Chest Of Drawers With Very Fine Original Gilt Bronze Rococo Handles

In original condition with good colour and patina, this is an interesting transitional piece, having book matched, hand sawn veneers and cross grain mouldings which would indicate an earlier style yet the drawer linings are mahogany and the rococo style handles give it a date of 1760 or thereabouts. The chest has its original key, all the locks have been serviced and are working and the drawers run smoothly.

Eighteenth-century walnut furniture is characterised by rich timber grains, often featuring figured veneers, elegant proportions, and classical decorative motifs influenced by the Baroque and Rococo periods.

These pieces typically employ solid walnut and walnut veneers applied to secondary woods like oak or pine, joined with hand-cut dovetails and fitted with cast brass hardware.

Authenticity is assessed by examining timber ageing, hand-cut dovetailing, original or period-correct brass hardware, and the natural oxidisation and patina accumulated over centuries.

Pairing historical timber furniture with clean-walled modern spaces creates a balanced contrast, allowing the natural grain and craftsmanship to serve as a focal point.

Preserve walnut furniture by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood surface.
