Georgian Mahogany Chest of Drawers

18th century
For Sale by Baggott & Co.
Description

Georgian Mahogany Chest of Drawers

A large chest with an unusual configuration of five long graduated drawers, the top with moulded edge and cross banding. The drawers with brass swan neck handles, brass escutcheons and locks to each (no keys), lined in oak with pine bases. Stands on shaped bracket feet supported by laminated shaped blocks. The back boarded in pine.

English, circa 1780

101cm H, 104cm W, 59cm D.

This chest compares to many designed by Chippendale for Dumfries house, which is not very far from us here in Galloway, most notably the design of the laminated bracket feet, which was a feature on many items of his furniture. This is a chest of larger than normal proportions, the 5 drawer configuration makes it quite unusual and it is finished in well figured mahogany. A lovely example of the later Georgian period presented in excellent condition.

FAQs

A Georgian mahogany chest of drawers typically dates from 1714 to 1837 and is recognised for classical proportions, symmetry, and understated elegance. Common construction traits include straight or bow fronts, hand-cut dovetail joints, brass swan-neck handles, and bracket feet.

Primary timbers relied heavily on imported West Indian or Cuban mahogany due to its dense grain and durability. Secondary woods used for drawer linings and backboards commonly included oak, pine, or deal.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-sawn back panels, original brass hardware secured with internal nuts, and natural wood shrinkage consistent with age. Drawer bottoms often run parallel to the drawer front rather than front-to-back as seen in later periods.

Position the piece as a anchor in a hallway, bedroom, or living area alongside contemporary artwork or modern table lamps to create visual contrast. The rich timber tones pair effectively with neutral walls, linen textiles, and understated decorative accessories.

Dust regularly using a dry, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the wood grain. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity to prevent timber movement or surface cracking.
