Tall Victorian Mahogany Wellington Chest With Secret Lock

Status: Reserved
Seller: Antique Furniture Direct
A magnificent tall antique Victorian mahogany Wellington chest dating from circa 1860. In wonderfully figured mahogany veneers it features an over-sailing top above seven graduated drawers with turned handles and standing on a plinth base. The drawers are secured in place by side hinged pilasters and it has a secret locking mechanism. The top of the right pilaster slides open to reveal a catch which locks the drawers and then sides back to hide the catch. There is also a hidden keyhole but no key.
