Antique Large Serpentine Mahogany Chest of Drawers

19th century
Description

A large and well-made antique serpentine mahogany chest of drawers, of generous proportions. The chest is fitted with five graduating drawers, each retaining brass swan neck handles and key escutcheons. The drawer fronts are veneered in beautifully figured mahogany, framed by striking crossbanding and delicate boxwood stringing, while the top is finished with matching crossbanding and fine line inlay. The front corners are decorated with elegant satinwood line inlaid panels, adding further refinement to an already impressive piece. Raised on shaped bracket feet, the serpentine front gives the chest a graceful profile, complemented by the rich colour and attractive figuring of the mahogany throughout.

Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

A serpentine chest of drawers features a wave-like contoured front with a central convex curve flanked by concave curves, a silhouette introduced in 18th-century English cabinet making.

These chests are constructed from dense mahogany with flame mahogany veneers, pine or oak secondary timber linings, and cast brass handles.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-dovetailed drawer joints, hand-sawn secondary timbers, period brass hardware, and gradual natural oxidisation on internal surfaces.

Position the chest as a focal storage piece in a bedroom or hallway, balancing the rich timber tones with neutral wall colours and contemporary accessories.

Keep the chest away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, and apply beeswax polish periodically.
