Victorian Breakfront Chiffonier in Havana Mahogany, C.1865–1880

Victorian Breakfront Chiffonier in Havana Mahogany, c.1865–1880

A distinguished mid-Victorian breakfront chiffonier crafted in richly figured Havana (Cuban) mahogany, with deep flame and crotch veneers giving a beautifully warm, ruby patina. The bold breakfront design, rounded corners and solid mahogany mouldings reflect high-quality cabinetmaking of the 19th century.

The interior is arranged with a central drawer over double doors, flanked by two generous side cupboards:

– the left-hand cupboard retains its original Victorian sliding trays,

– the right-hand cupboard has its original fixed shelves,

a correct and typical configuration for quality pieces of this period.

The arched panelled doors, book-matched veneers and shapely mouldings present beautifully. Inside, the carcass and shelving remain entirely original. Condition is excellent for age with only minor, historic marks.

A substantial and elegant storage piece ideal for dining rooms, living spaces or hallways where character and quality are desired.
