Antique George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers

18th century
Description

A fine late 18th-century George III mahogany chest of drawers of elegant form and superb quality. The well-figured rectangular top with a moulded edge sits above two short and three long graduated drawers all fitted with original brass swan-neck handles and brass escutcheons.

Each drawer is oak-lined with hand-cut dovetail joints indicative of fine Georgian craftsmanship. The chest stands on shaped bracket feet and retains a beautifully rich colour and lustrous patina developed over more than two centuries.

Wood: Mahogany with oak drawer linings

Condition: Excellent antique condition. The drawers run smoothly; minor surface marks and wear consistent with age and use.

Dimensions:

Height 84 cm (33 in)

Width 95 cm (37.4 in)

Depth 58.5 cm (23 in)

A classic example of late Georgian cabinetry — restrained, functional, and beautifully balanced — ideal for a traditional bedroom, hallway, or refined interior setting.

Date: 1790

Period: George III

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Produced during the reign of King George III between 1760 and 1820, these pieces are characterised by classical proportions, clean symmetry, and the widespread use of mahogany timber, frequently arranged in a two-over-three drawer layout supported by bracket feet.

Cabinetmakers typically utilised solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcass wood, employing hand-cut dovetail joints, cockbeaded drawer borders, and cast brass swan-neck handle fittings.

Authentic period pieces exhibit signs of hand-planed timber, irregular hand-cut dovetails, shrinkage gaps on backboards or drawer bases, and natural wear around original keyholes and brassware.

The balanced lines and warm timber tones allow it to serve as a functional accent piece in contemporary bedrooms, hallways, or living spaces, pairing effectively alongside modern artwork and neutral textiles.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying or fading, and apply a natural beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to preserve the surface finish.
