Crafted in beautifully figured mahogany with a rich warm colour and pleasing natural patina, this impressive antique piece combines classic Georgian design with highly practical storage.
The upper section features a moulded cornice with central oval patera inlay above a pair of large panelled cupboard doors. Inside are a series of original sliding trays, traditionally used for linen storage. The lower section is fitted with a well-graduated arrangement of drawers retaining their attractive oval brass handles and working locks, all raised on neat splayed bracket feet with a gently shaped apron.
A handsome and useful statement piece, ideal for bedroom or country house interiors, offering substantial storage while displaying refined period craftsmanship. Remaining in good order, showing minor wear and historic repairs commensurate with age and use.
