Antique Georgian Bow Front Chest of Drawers Figured Mahogany Brass Handles

19th century
Description

A very elegant bow front chest of drawers in beautifully figured mahogany, the serpentine front giving it a refined and timeless look. The proportions are particularly pleasing, with a generous top above three graduated drawers, each fitted with oval brass plate handles and central escutcheons.

The colour and figuring to the mahogany are warm and rich, showing a lovely depth across the drawer fronts. The sides are well matched and the piece stands on shaped bracket feet, giving it a classic early 19th century stance.

Bow front chests like this became highly fashionable in the late Georgian period, designed to soften the lines of a room and fit comfortably within interiors of the time. They were commonly used in bedrooms or dressing rooms, providing practical storage while maintaining an elegant appearance.

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. 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.

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

Bow front furniture, popular in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, features a gentle convex curve across the front facade to soften rigid architectural room lines.

Solid mahogany and flame mahogany veneers were frequently selected for primary surfaces, alongside hand-dovetailed drawer linings constructed from native pine or oak.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary woods, original brass hardware with genuine surface patination, and hand-planed rear timber panels.

Pairing dark polished mahogany with muted wall tones or contemporary artwork creates a balanced contrast that highlights classical craftsmanship alongside modern design elements.

Dust regularly with a dry cotton cloth, apply beeswax sparingly along the wood grain, and position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer movement.
