Charles II Oak and Walnut Geometeric Chest of Drawers

17th century
Description

Rare 17th-Century Charles II Oak & Walnut Geometric Chest of Drawers.

An Exceptional Investment-Grade Statement Piece.

Very rarely does the opportunity to own a piece of early English furniture of this calibre arise. Dating from the reign of Charles II, this remarkable chest of drawers has survived in incredible condition, retaining its original handles and working locks—a scarcity for furniture of this age.

### Design & Craftsmanship

This chest features a striking, sophisticated contrast of materials and architectural depth:

* **The Configuration:** Two flat-fronted, highly figured walnut top drawers sit elegantly over three graduated, deep drawers.

* **The Detail:** The lower three drawers boast masterful "cushion-fronted" moulded geometric designs, epitomizing the grand, tactile style of the late 17th century.

* **The Finish:** Time has been incredibly kind to this piece. The walnut has faded to a stunning, warm honey colour, perfectly complemented by the oak’s rich, deep patina—a unmistakable glow that can only be achieved through 350 years of history and care.

### Presence & Versatility

With its commanding character and perfect proportions, this is a truly remarkable piece. While historically significant, its clean geometric lines offer a timeless aesthetic that would effortlessly anchor any room in the house, from a traditional entryway to a contemporary living space or master bedroom.

FAQs

Originating in late 17th-century England during the Restoration period, Charles II chests are characterised by applied geometric mouldings on drawer fronts, frequently utilising contrasting woods like oak and walnut.

Pieces from this era typically feature solid oak carcases, mortise and tenon joinery, side-runner drawer suspension, and applied walnut geometric mouldings with cast brass drop handles.

Authentic 17th-century chests display hand-sawn timber marks, thick drawer linings running front-to-back on side grooves, hand-forged iron nails, original keyhole escutcheons, and natural uneven shrinkage across wide backboards.

A geometric oak chest provides visual weight when placed in a hallway or living room, contrasted against minimalist neutral walls, textured linen textiles, and modern sculptural brass lighting.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent timber warping and moulding separation. Preserve the natural patina by applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year with a soft cotton cloth.
