18th.c. Oak Cabinet on Chest C.1720

18th century
Description

Fabulous early 18th.c. oak cabinet on chest c.1720. Cabinets of this type were intended to function as secure storage for valuable objects and documents and, as here, often feature ingeniously hidden compartments. Two door cupboard top with a remarkable fitted interior featuring 6 pigeon holes and 14 small drawers arranged around a central lockable cupboard. Cleverly concealed behind removable panels within the cabinet are a further 18 hidden drawers! There is also a large drawer hidden in the cushion frieze below the cornice and the very top of the piece top is hinged to allow use of the space within. Chest of drawers base with two short and two long drawers of graduated height and a writing slide in the waist which is also divided into compartments and loose trays below the work surface. Dentil cornice, arched door panels, ogee mouldings and shaped bracket feet. Original lock and key. Lovely original brass handles to the interior. Oak drawer linings throughout, oak cabinet sides and pine back boards. Some earlier restorations but generally excellent colour and condition, cleaned and waxed in our workshops.

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

Originating in the early 18th century during the William and Mary and George I periods, a cabinet on chest combines an upper cabinet fitted with small internal drawers and pigeonholes with a lower chest of drawers, offering versatile storage and writing functionality.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid native English oak, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints, raised field panelling, brass drop handles, and bracket feet, with secondary timber like pine used for internal drawer linings.

Authentic pieces from circa 1720 display hand-sawn timber marks, thick oak drawer linings with original dovetailing, age-related patination, hand-hammered brass fittings, and original lock mechanisms.

Place the piece as a focal storage unit against a neutral wall in a study, hallway, or living room, paired with contemporary lighting or modern art to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern interior design.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent warping, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually along the wood grain.
