Late 17th Century Oak Moulded Front Chest of Drawers with Fine, Faded Patina

17th century
Description

A late 17th century (circa 1680) oak moulded front chest of drawers with fine, faded patina.

This oak chest of drawers consists of a three plank top with a moulded edge leading down to four long drawers.

The top drawer with moulded decoration to give the appearance of two smaller drawers, the drawer below of deeper proportions with geometric moulded decoration, drawer three and four replicating the designs of drawer one and two, all drawers with brass drop handles and decorative central brass escutcheons.

The sides with panelled ends with a moulded edge below, all supported on stile feet.

This chest of drawers was made in two sections, the top lifts off the lower section which is not uncommon for pieces of this period as cottages and properties were small so this made moving items through small staircases and upper floors easier.

This chest of drawers is in very good condition for age with evidence of old repairs, it is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

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

Late 17th-century furniture from the Carolean and William and Mary periods often features geometric, applied mitred mouldings on drawer fronts. Solid oak construction, panelled sides, and deep drawer proportions are typical characteristics of joinery from this era.

Chests from this period were primarily constructed from solid English oak using mortise and tenon joints held with wooden pegs. Drawers were designed with thick oak linings and ran on side-grooved runners, often finished with cast brass drop handles and decorative escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-sawn timber marks, irregular peg placement, side-runner drawer grooves, and signs of historical wear on the timber base. The drawers often feature heavy oak drawer bottoms secured with hand-forged nails rather than modern dovetail arrangements.

Positioning a dark oak chest against neutral stone or plastered walls creates a balanced visual contrast. It serves effectively as a focal piece in a hallway, dining area, or bedroom when paired with minimal contemporary lighting or modern artwork.

Oak furniture should be kept away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity to prevent timber movement or splitting. Periodic application of natural beeswax nourishes the wood and preserves the original surface patina.
