Small Early English Oak Chest of Drawers C1680

17th century
Description

This splendid EARLY ENGLISH OAK CHEST OF DRAWERS dates from circa 1680.

It is of small proportions, in both height and width, standing just 28.25 inches (71.5 cm) high and measuring 32 inches (81 cm) wide.

As one might expect, the drawers are nailed rather than jointed. In generally good, original condition having been with one family for several decades.

Width: 32 inches (81 cm)

Depth: 19 inches (48 cm)

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. 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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Jacobean furniture, originating in 17th-century England, is defined by sturdy oak construction, geometric panel mouldings, split-spindle ornamentation, and low, heavy proportions. Pieces from this era often feature applied turnings and panelled drawer fronts.

Chests from this era were primarily constructed using native solid English oak. Drawer linings were typically crafted from oak or pine, joined with mortise and tenon or early dovetail joinery, and secured with wooden pegs.

Authentic 17th-century chests display specific construction markers such as side-running drawers, hand-carved geometric mouldings, thick saw marks, hand-forged iron nails or keyhole escutcheons, and natural wear around the feet and knobs.

A dark oak chest provides rich visual weight when placed against neutral painted walls. Balance the early timber texture by pairing it with clean-lined modern lighting, contemporary artwork, or simple ceramic decorative objects.

Maintain historical oak by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity changes to prevent timber movement or splitting.
