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.

This early 19th-century Regency chest of drawers is constructed from dark brown mahogany with flame mahogany veneer and brass hardware. The bowfront case comprises a figured top above two short upper drawers and two long lower drawers, all fitted with oval brass drop handles on oval backplates and individual keyhole escutcheons. The structure rests on splayed bracket feet below a shaped apron. The visible timber displays rich grain patterns and warm polished tones across every surface. Measuring 92 cm high, 90 cm wide, and 51 cm deep, this item provides practical storage capacity for textiles and garments while occupying a modest footprint against a wall. Traditional proportions and classic English country house styling allow this chest to integrate smoothly into a bedroom, guest room, or hallway interior. Surface space on top accommodates lamps, framed photographs, or decorative objects, while the four drawers organize personal belongings out of sight. Solid timber construction and timeless aesthetic appeal suit period properties and contemporary spaces alike, adding functional surface area and classic British cabinetry to daily home life.

FAQs

A bowfront chest of drawers features a convex, gently curved front facade that emerged during the late 18th century, becoming prominent throughout Georgian and Regency period furniture design.

These chests were typically constructed using solid or veneered mahogany with pine or oak drawer linings, hand-cut dovetail joints, and cast brass oval drop handles.

Authentic 19th-century pieces often exhibit hand-sawn timber bases, slightly irregular hand-cut dovetail joinery, original brass escutcheons, and natural oxidisation on the internal timber.

Integrate the piece into a bedroom or hallway as a focal focal point, pairing the dark mahogany tones with neutral wall palettes, contemporary table lamps, and minimal ceramics.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish annually along the wood grain, keeping the item away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and damp environments.
