Description

George III Cuban Mahogany Chest of Drawers c.1780

A late 18th century North Country chest of drawers in well-figured Cuban mahogany.

Two short drawers over three long, all cockbeaded and fitted with brass swan-neck handles. Fluted corner pilasters to each side, raised on shaped bracket feet.

The timber has a good rich colour and a natural aged surface. It has some marks and wear, as you'd expect — including a few blemishes to the top and splits to each side panel — but it’s structurally sound and the drawers run well.

Removed from a Wiltshire manor house.

FAQs

The George III style, spanning the mid-to-late 18th century, is characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and a transition from heavy mahogany to lighter, more sophisticated forms influenced by designers like Chippendale and Sheraton.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as Cuban mahogany, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction, oak secondary timbers, and traditional brass swing handles secured with backplates.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetails, irregular drawer dimensions that fit specific bays, shrinkage cracks in side panels, hand-planed drawer bottoms, and the presence of period-appropriate brass hardware fixtures.

Pairing a dark hardwood chest with minimalist modern art, neutral wall colours, and streamlined contemporary lighting creates a balanced contrast that highlights the rich grain and history of the piece.

Preserve antique wood by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, dusting with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the finish.
