Also Antique Furniture has dated this Georgian Crossbanded Oak Chest to the Georgian era.
A practical size with generous storage, it would work particularly well in a bedroom, hallway or living space.
The moulded rectangular top sits above two short and three graduated long drawers, with figured oak fronts framed by contrasting mahogany crossbanding. The drawers are fitted with brass swan-neck handles and the chest stands on shaped bracket feet.
DIMENSIONS
Height: 108 cm
Width: 102 cm
Depth: 53 cm
CONDITION
The chest is in good, solid and usable condition, with a rich colour and attractive figuring to the oak. The drawers run well and the joints are stable.
There are marks, knocks, scratches and areas of wear commensurate with age and use. There are some historic repairs, patches and losses to the veneers and crossbanding, including a replaced section on the top left drawer, and staining around the locks where different escutcheons were previously fitted. The brass swan-neck handles are later replacements.
These historic repairs remain visible and form part of the chest's character. Overall, it is a handsome and substantial Georgian chest with particularly attractive figured drawer fronts, presenting well and ready for use.
