Antique Georgian Quality Mahogany Bow Front Chest of Drawers

19th century
Description

A beautiful antique Georgian quality mahogany bow front chest of drawers dating from 1800, boasting elegant proportions and a wonderfully rich mahogany colour. This timeless piece features a classic bow front design with three generous graduating drawers, retaining its original brass oval plate handles and attractive splayed bracket feet.

Crafted from beautifully figured solid mahogany, the chest displays the understated elegance that defines Georgian furniture. The gently bow shaped front adds sophistication while providing generous storage, making it equally suited to a bedroom, hallway or living room. The drawers are oak lined, run smoothly and offer excellent storage space.

This is a fine quality Georgian chest with clean lines, beautiful colour and superb craftsmanship that will complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.

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.

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

Originating in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a Georgian bow front chest of drawers features a gentle convex curved front designed to soften room corners while providing storage space.

Chests from this period were predominantly crafted using solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints, cockbeaded drawer borders, and secondary timber linings such as pine or oak.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-cut dovetailing, period-correct brass handles or escutcheons, natural wear along internal drawer runners, and hand-planed timber back panels.

A bow front chest functions effectively as a focal point in an entryway or bedroom, paired with contemporary framed artwork or ceramic vessels to contrast traditional cabinetmaking with modern accents.

Routine maintenance involves dusting with a dry, soft cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice annually, while keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
