Regency Mahogany Bow Front Chest of Drawers, English, C.1800–1820

19th century
For Sale by Leeds Antiques
Description

Regency Mahogany Bow Front Chest of Drawers

A handsome English Regency mahogany bow front chest of drawers, dating to the early 19th century, circa 1800–1820.

Of elegant proportion, the chest is formed with a well-shaped serpentine front and stands on splayed bracket feet. The mahogany is of particularly pleasing colour and figure, with a warm, well-aged tone across the drawer fronts and a nicely patinated top. The chest is fitted with two short over three long graduated drawers, retaining its original brass handles, escutcheons and working locks, all of which sit correctly and consistently across the piece.

The chest presents very well, having been cleaned and lightly attended to, and is ready for use. The drawers run smoothly and the structure is solid throughout, with no loose joints. The interior shows traditional pine linings with oak drawer sides, typical of the period. A well-balanced and practical piece, equally suited to both traditional and more contemporary interiors.

Dimensions:

Width: 95 cm (37 1/2")

Width across feet: 98.5 cm (38 3/4")

Depth: 51.25 cm (20 1/4")

Height: 96 cm (37 3/4")

Condition:

Structurally sound and in good overall order. There are some age-related marks and minor blemishes, all of which are well polished in and commensurate with use. The chest retains excellent colour and a pleasing, honest surface. Minor running repairs have been carried out historically. Drawers run well and the piece is ready for use.

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

Regency chests of drawers, produced from approximately 1800 to 1830, typically feature refined proportions, bow-front or straight-front contours, and smooth mahogany veneers. Influenced by classical revival motifs, these pieces often incorporate subtle cockbeading, decorative brass hardware, and sweeping splay legs.

Cabinetmakers favoured solid mahogany alongside rich mahogany veneers layered over oak or pine carcass frames. Hand-cut dovetail joints, cockbeaded drawer edges, and cast brass ring-pull handles or knob backplates are standard construction signatures of the era.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-sawn drawer linings, uneven hand-cut dovetails, original keyhole escutcheons, and appropriate signs of age to the timber undersides. Look for gentle curved fronts supported by sweeping splayed bracket feet or turned legs.

Position the chest in a hallway, bedroom, or living area as a focal storage piece, pairing dark mahogany tones with neutral wall palettes. Balance the period aesthetic by displaying modern ceramics, framed abstract art, or contemporary table lamps along the top surface.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice annually along the grain. Keep the item away from direct sunlight, central heating radiators, and fluctuating humidity to prevent timber shrinkage or veneer lifting.
