Description

A good early George III solid mahogany chest on chest retaining its original cast brass handles in the Chippendale pattern and with original 18th century steel locks and original working key (one lock replaced)

The chest with a wide splayed ogee cornice over dentil blind fretwork frieze above two short drawers over six long graduated drawers all with beautifully grained mahogany fronts of excellent colour. All of the drawers with solid oak original linings with very finely cut dovetails.

Of a good and usable size, not too tall so that the top drawers are easy to reach and use.

The chest sits level and firm on its original tall and shapely bracket feet. Original backboards also.

In very good original and entirely usable condition and so rare to have an original key and locks.

From a private house in Kent, a really heavy and well made Georgian chest on chest dating from c. 1760 at a tiny price.

73 inches tall, 45 inches wide and 23 inches deep.

Lower case is 38 inches tall from floor.

FAQs

The George III style, spanning from 1760 to 1811, is characterised by classical proportions, high-quality timber such as mahogany, and inspiration drawn from architectural treatises, Thomas Chippendale designs, and later neoclassical motifs.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany and pine secondary woods, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction, brass swan-neck or rococo handles, and tongue-and-groove panel backs.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, timber shrinkage consistent with age, period brass hardware or filled ghost marks from previous handles, and hand-planed drawer bottoms and backs.

A tallboy functions effectively as a focal storage piece in a bedroom or hallway, pairing well with minimalist modern decor to create a layered interior that contrasts historical woodwork with clean lines.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and avoiding silicone-based polishes.
