Also Antique Furniture has dated this George II Walnut Tallboy to the Georgian era.
The moulded cornice sits above an upper section fitted with three short and three long oak-lined drawers, over a lower section with three further long drawers. The drawer fronts are decorated with fine line inlay forming elegant intersecting curves, together with crossbanding and featherbanding, and the chest stands on shaped bracket feet.
The attractive walnut veneers and refined inlaid decoration give the piece a sophisticated appearance, while the well-balanced proportions make it equally suitable for a period or contemporary interior. The drawers are oak lined, reflecting the quality of its original construction.
A handsome and practical mid-18th century chest on chest offering generous storage and excellent decorative appeal.
DIMENSIONS
Height: 177cm
Width: 107cm
Depth: 54cm
CONDITION
There are the expected light marks, knocks and surface wear associated with age and use.
There are historic patch repairs to the veneers and mouldings, together with a small number of old woodworm holes. The bottom right-hand corner of the lowest drawer has been historically re-glued and sits very slightly proud. There are minor age-related shrinkage splits to both sides and small gaps around some drawer fronts, consistent with the age of the piece. The handles are old replacements.
The drawers run freely, the joints remain sound and the chest has a rich colour with attractive figured walnut veneers, presenting well overall as a quality mid-18th century piece.
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.

The photographs form an important part of the description and should be viewed alongside the written condition report.
