Satinwood Late 19th Century Tall Pedestal Chest of Drawers

1900 - 1920
Description

A Stunning Quality Late 19th Century Satinwood Tall Pedestal Type Chest, Having Well Figured Rectangular Top Over Six Drawers, With Original Pierced Brass Handles And Exceptional Inlaid Decoration, Incorporating Ribbons, Swags And Harebells, Flanked By Pilaster Columns Headed With Further Floral Inlaid Decoration. 

A stunning quality late 19th century victorian satinwood chest of drawers which is very similar in proportions to the ever popular wellington chest, although it doesn’t have the hinged pilaster with single lock like a wellington chest. Instead with this particular design you get six superbly smooth, functional drawers with their own locks.

It is constructed using high end secondary timbers like mahogany and cedar wood and the satinwood veneers are of the highest grade. They are about the best satinwood veneers which we have seen on an item of furniture as late in date as this boasting lovely figuring and a great colour.

The inlaid decoration which is found throughout the piece is also very high quality and extremely finely executed. 

The chest is incredibly useful and would suit a huge variety of spaces around both the home and ffice due to its great functionality. It also retains it’s original pierced brass handles and stands on its original plinth.

The chest is in excellent condition and comes with working locks and keys. As with all of the items which we offer for sale it has been cleaned, naturally wax polished and inspected, using traditional methods by our highly skilled furniture restorers before being offered for sale, ensuring it is ready for immediate use.

Circa 1880.

Height 48in.

Width 24in.

Depth 16.5in.

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.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Popularised during the revival period of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, satinwood pedestal chests are tall, narrow cabinets designed to provide compact vertical storage with fine decorative inlay and marquetry inspired by 18th-century classical designs.

These pieces typically feature West Indian or East Indian satinwood veneers over mahogany, pine, or oak carcases, adorned with inlaid boxwood or tulipwood banding, dovetail drawer construction, and cast brass handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, natural patina across exposed timber, delicate hand-etched inlay work, and genuine period hardware or lock plates rather than modern uniform fittings.

The golden tone of satinwood allows a tall chest to serve as a focal accent in modern alcoves, hallways, or dressing rooms, pairing effectively against neutral walls and contemporary lighting.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and apply high-quality beeswax twice annually to nourish the wood, keeping the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent shrinkage or veneer lifting.
