  • ObjectChests of Drawers
  • Period18th century
  • StyleQueen Anne / Early Georgian
  • MaterialWalnut, Oak, Brass
  • ColourWarm Brown
  • MotifsBook-matched walnut veneer, Bracket feet, Brass drop handles, Graduated drawers
  • SizeH 79 cm (31 in) x W 81 cm (32 in) x D 48 cm (19 in)

Furniture from this period transitioned from heavy oak to rich walnut veneers, featuring minimalist linear banding, bracket feet, and refined proportions.

Pieces typically utilised oak or pine secondary timbers faced with figured walnut veneers, joined with hand-cut dovetails and fitted with cast brass drop handles.

Authenticity is indicated by period construction traits such as hand-cut dovetailing, pegged joints, natural timber shrinkage, and original patination on the brass hardware and wood.

Pairing historical timber pieces with contemporary clean-lined upholstery or neutral walls creates a balanced interior that highlights the rich grain and texture of the wood.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources and sunlight, applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish and protect the polished timber surface.
