George III Burr Walnut Chest of Drawers

A fine George III period burr walnut chest of drawers dating from the late 18th century, beautifully veneered in richly figured walnut which displays an attractive and varied grain across the drawer fronts.

The chest is arranged with three short drawers across the top above three long graduating drawers, each fitted with elegant brass swan neck handles and matching escutcheons. The drawers are well proportioned and provide generous storage, while the top offers a practical surface suitable for a variety of interior settings.

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.

Georgian burr walnut furniture is defined by the use of highly patterned root veneer cuts, symmetrical book-matching, and solid oak or pine secondary timbers during the early to mid-eighteenth century.

Pieces from this era typically feature walnut or mahogany veneers over solid oak or pine carcasses, accented with cast brass drop handles, backplates, and steel lock mechanisms.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, uneven hand-sawn secondary timber on back panels, original cast brass hardware, and natural timber oxidisation within the drawer interiors.

A Georgian walnut chest pairs well with contemporary minimalist spaces by acting as a warm focal point alongside simple textiles, neutral wall colours, and modern lighting fixtures.

Walnut veneer should be treated periodically with high-grade beeswax polish, kept clear of direct sunlight to prevent bleaching, and maintained in a stable relative humidity to prevent lifting or cracking.
