Late 18th Century Elm Box in the Form of a Small Chest of Drawers of Wonderful Patina

18th century
Description

A late 18th century (circa 1790) elm box in the form of a small chest of drawers of wonderful patina.

This unusual elm box consists of a solid elm top with moulded edge, this opening to reveal an area for storage.

This leads down to the front, consisting of three graduated dummy drawers each with a moulded edge, all with two original brass swan neck handles and original brass carrying handles to either side, supported on bracket feet.

This elm box is in very good original condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home – this would be ideal used as a coffee table or occasional table or maybe to store logs next to the fire!

Size:

Height: 18.25'' / 46.25cm

Width: 19.75'' / 50.25cm

Depth: 16.5'' / 42cm

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Often constructed as apprentice pieces or scale models by cabinetmakers, miniature chests of drawers served as demonstrations of artisan skill or as compact tabletop storage solutions during the Georgian era.

These storage pieces were typically crafted using native timbers such as elm or oak, featuring hand-cut joinery, solid wood interiors, and hand-cast brass handles or side carrying escutcheons.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand-tooling, irregular dovetail joints, natural timber shrinkage over time, original brassware fittings, and age-appropriate oxidisation on the underside and drawer casings.

Position the item on a sideboard, console table, or writing desk to serve as a functional organiser for stationery or small keepsakes while introducing historical character to the room.

Dust the timber regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually, ensuring the piece is kept away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity to prevent warping.
