This seventeenth-century William and Mary chest of drawers originates from the English Country House tradition. The piece stands on turned bun feet and features teardrop brass handles alongside geometric inlay and crossbanded drawer fronts in warm amber yew and maple. The timber displays rich natural figuring across the drawer fronts and central panels, accented by brass keyhole escutcheons. Measuring 89.5 cm high, 96 cm wide, and 53 cm deep, this chest provides functional surface space and storage capacity. It serves as a practical storage unit for a bedroom, hallway, or living space, accommodating folded clothing, linens, or everyday items while bringing traditional period character to an interior.

FAQs

Originating in late 17th-century England, William and Mary style furniture features Dutch and Flemish influences, including intricate veneers, geometric marquetry, double-arch mouldings, turned bun feet, and teardrop brass drawer pulls.

Chests from this period were commonly built with solid pine or oak carcasses veneered in native timbers such as yew, walnut, maple, and fruitwoods, complemented by brass drop handles and iron locks.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, thick hand-sawn wood veneers, oak or pine drawer linings, original brass drop handles with backplates, and turned bun feet joined with wooden pegs.

Place the piece against a contemporary or dark accent wall to accentuate its rich wood grain, paired with modern ceramics or minimal table lamps to create a contrast between historic patina and modern design.

Maintain stable humidity levels to prevent veneer lifting, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to protect the original finish without using silicone spray cleaners.
