This 18th century Queen Anne chest of drawers is constructed from walnut and burr walnut with a warm brown timber finish. The rectangular top displays burr walnut veneer with crossbanding, above an arrangement of two short drawers over three long drawers fitted with brass drop handles and brass escutcheons. The drawer fronts feature crossbanded decoration and matched burr walnut veneers, supported below by turned bun feet with traditional mouldings framing the upper edge of the case. Practical dimensions of 90 cm high, 99 cm wide, and 55 cm deep provide substantial storage capacity for everyday items. Placed in a bedroom, hallway, or living room, this piece serves as a traditional storage cabinet and surface for displaying decorative items within an English country house interior.

FAQs

Chests of drawers from the early eighteenth century typically feature highly figured burr walnut veneers, crossbanded drawer fronts, hand-cut dovetail joinery, and a configuration of two short drawers over three long graduated drawers resting on bun or bracket feet.

These chests were constructed primarily with a pine or oak carcase veneered in walnut or burr walnut, often featuring holly or boxwood featherbanding, crossbanded borders, and cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces display signs of hand construction, including unevenly spaced dovetail joints, hand-sawn timber drawer bottoms, original oak or pine secondary woods, and genuine age-related oxidisation around the brass hardware.

A classic walnut chest serves as an effective focal point in contemporary spaces, providing functional storage while contrasting warm wood grain against clean architectural lines and neutral colour palettes.

Preserve the finish by applying a high-grade beeswax paste twice yearly, dusting with a dry microfiber cloth, and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and UV bleaching.
