Lincoln Restorations has dated these Georgian Mahogany Chest Drawers to the Georgian era.
An exceptional condition original Georgian chest of drawers.
This particularly handsome English Georgian Mahogany chest of drawers, dating to circa 1820.
The quality and condition of this piece are truly exceptional, offering that sought-after mellow glow that only comes from two centuries of careful use. Unusually this chest retains its original Georgian working warded locks, complete with original key. Furthermore, the interiors of the drawers are remarkably clean and entirely free from staining, a condition which is very uncommon for a piece of this age and truly underscores how well it has been cared for throughout its history.
The top is finished with a crisp cross-banded edge and an Ebony border inlay. The chest has a great stance, sitting on a reeded base supported by its original solid bracket feet. The internal quality is exactly what a collector looks for, featuring Oak sidings and clean, finely hand-cut dovetails, with all cockbeading present and correct.
In keeping with its history, the chest was updated during the Victorian era with turned mahogany knobs, which is quite common with the Victorian era's fashions. While it would have originally sported brass droppers, these 19th-century additions have become part of the piece's unique story and suit the chest's proportions perfectly.
The chests original French polished finish has been traditionally revived and restored to bring the grain back to life without losing any of its beautiful character. For the modern home, we have meticulously gone through the drawer runners, repairing and rebuilding them where necessary to ensure a smooth, daily-use action that is often missing in unrestored pieces. This is a remarkably clean, honest, and functional piece of English furniture with a fantastic, authentic colour.
This lovely restored chest of drawers is in home ready condition and is fit for every day use for many more years to come.
