Attractive Georgian Mahogany Country Chest of Drawers

19th century

Sold by Billy Hunt & Co.

Description

We have an attractive Georgian chest of 5 drawers raised on tall shapely bracket feet. Likely a country piece with the usual set up of 2 half drawers and 3 graduated long drawers below with black painted knobs, would not look bad in a period hallway or living room.

This one has aging, patina and marks to all sides - some folk enjoy aging, a piece to have past and patina, some desire perfection. This is the first - nothing wrong with that so please expect marks and aging not a repolished museum piece. All the knobs are in place and the drawers are running fine with a few having historically replaced runners. The chest is clean and neat, ready for placing.

A handsome Georgian chest of drawers C1820.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions on the pieces that may interest you - Many thanks Martina
