This Regency chest of drawers is fashioned from mahogany with a warm brown colour and prominent flame mahogany veneer. The bow front piece stands in a grand Regency style, complemented by reeded pilasters flanking the facade and ring-turned supports at the feet. Brass oval drop handles punctuate each of the two short and three long drawers, which also display central key escutcheons. The visible timber grain shows rich natural figuring across the sweeping drawer fronts. Practical storage dimensions measure 118 cm high, 120 cm wide, and 54 cm deep. Position this substantial item in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway to hold folded clothes, linens, or accessories while adding a traditional focal point to the interior.

FAQs

Regency chests of drawers typically reflect design trends from 1811 to 1830, characterised by classical proportions, elegant bow-front or straight-front shapes, flame mahogany veneers, and reeded or turned corner pilasters.

Cabinetmakers of this era used hand-cut dovetail joints for drawer construction, secondary timbers like pine or oak for drawer linings, and flame mahogany veneers laid over solid timber bases.

Authentic pieces display hand-saw marks on secondary wood back panels, irregular hand-cut dovetails, original cast brass hardware, and natural timber shrinkage or wear consistent with age.

A bow-front chest works well paired with modern neutral wall tones, juxtaposing rich timber grain against contemporary lighting, artwork, or minimalist textiles to create a balanced scheme.

Apply clear beeswax polish periodically along the grain and dust with a soft microfibre cloth while keeping the furniture away from direct heat sources and high humidity variations.
