Also Antique Furniture has dated this Queen Anne Walnut Chest on Stand to the 18th Century.
A handsome early eighteenth-century walnut chest on stand dating from the Queen Anne period.
The drawer fronts are veneered in beautifully figured walnut displaying attractive burr and feathered figuring, which has mellowed over the centuries to a rich, warm colour and patina. The chest is constructed in elm.
The chest stands upon an associated walnut stand fitted with three drawers and raised on turned baluster supports united by an elegant undulating stretcher, terminating in squat bun feet. Although associated, the stand is well proportioned to the upper section and creates an attractive and practical piece of early English furniture.
Retaining attractive period brass drop handles and escutcheons, the chest offers generous storage whilst remaining of manageable proportions. It would make an excellent statement piece in a bedroom, hallway or drawing room, combining early eighteenth-century character with everyday practicality.

CONDITION
Presented in good antique condition commensurate with its age of over 300 years. There are the expected marks, scratches, knocks and minor losses and repair to the veneer associated with centuries of use. The walnut has developed a rich, mellow patina with attractive colour throughout.
There is evidence of historic woodworm to both the chest and stand. The worm appears long inactive and does not affect the structural integrity of the piece. The handles are later. The drawers run well and the chest is solid, stable and ready for use.
As with all antique and vintage furniture, this piece has been used and enjoyed over many years and should be expected to show signs of age and use. We aim to describe any significant faults, repairs or alterations as accurately and honestly as possible. The photographs form an important part of the description and should be viewed alongside the written condition report. If you would like further information or additional photographs, we are always happy to help before purchase.
