Description

Antique Victorian Mahogany Chest of 5 Drawers

A Victorian chest of drawers in a truly outstanding condition.

We are delighted to bring to you the finest example of a rare Victorian (circa 1870) 5 deep descending drawer chest of drawers. This unusually high quality chest of drawers features a lovely and very unusual speckled grain Solid Mahogany top finished with a nicely moulded edge and the finest Flame grain Mahogany veneer to the drawer fronts. The chest is also complete with its original finely turned Mahogany knobs and brass keyhole escutcheons to front its original brass lever locks (no keys).

This fine chest of drawers is in a truly outstanding original condition and retains its original and highly sought after lightly faded Mahogany colour and deep glazed French polished finish throughout.

The drawers are Mahogany sided and complete with their original blue paper lining in fantastic condition with few marks or stains. The drawers also show their extremely fine hand-cut dovetails on the sides when the drawers are opened, showcasing its quality craftsmanship. The drawers all run very smoothly, operating with little to no drawer wear and without ever having any repairs to the runners. To finish, the chest of drawers stands proudly on its original simple plinth.

We have carefully cleaned and waxed this chest, maintaining its original patina whilst giving a lovely natural sheen. The chest has been sympathetically restored and thoroughly checked over in our workshop so is solid with no loose joints or wobbles and has never had any woodworm.

Please note; This item is in fantastic condition for its age as shown by the photographs below. Being an antique item of this age there are obviously marks, scratches and dents, however, we feel that these points are which adds to its charm and character to a piece.

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.
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.
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.

A Victorian chest of drawers typically features solid construction, turned timber handles, generous depth, and frequently incorporates flame mahogany veneers arranged over robust frame timbers.

Victorian cabinetmakers frequently utilised solid Cuban or Honduran mahogany for framing alongside decorative flame mahogany veneers applied to drawer fronts to showcase dramatic grain patterns.

Authentic Victorian examples generally exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, brass keyhole escutcheons, turned wooden knobs, and solid timber drawer linings displaying expected age-related wear.

A Victorian mahogany chest functions as a grounding anchor in neutral-toned bedrooms or hallways, pairing effectively with contemporary artwork, ceramic vessels, and modern lighting.

Maintain mahogany timber by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the surface finish.
