Georgian Walnut and Oak Chest of Drawers

18th century
Description

Fine George I/II Walnut & Oak Chest of Drawers | Feather Banded, Original Construction, c.1720–1740

​Key Features & Craftsmanship

​Exceptional Walnut Veneer & Feather Banding: The drawer fronts are faced in beautifully figured, honey-toned book-matched walnut veneer, bordered by fine herringbone (feather) banding and cross-banded edges that frame each drawer perfectly.

​Banded Walnut Top: A major feature of this piece is its striking top surface, showcasing a richly figured central field framed by a wide, cross-banded walnut border with delicate feather inlay detailing.

​Engraved Hardware: Adorned with period-correct, engraved brass swan-neck handles mounted via traditional split-pins, complete with matching engraved escutcheons.

​Classic 3-Over-3 Configuration: Features three short over three long graduating drawers, offering versatile storage while maintaining ideal aesthetic balance.

​Solid Oak Construction: Built with walnut veneered directly over robust solid oak carcasses, featuring full oak sides and sturdy oak drawer lining.

​Workshop Restored: Carefully revived in our workshop to preserve historical integrity, nourish the timber, and ensure smooth drawer operation without compromising its authentic antique charm.

​Condition Report

This chest is in remarkable, museum-grade condition for its age. The timber is stable throughout with no splits to the top or side panels. All drawers run smoothly, and the polished finish highlights the warm, complex grain of the early walnut.

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.

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

Dating from the eighteenth century, Georgian walnut chests of drawers are characterised by balanced proportions, brass hardware, and intricate veneering techniques such as featherbanding and crossbanding.

Cabinetmakers typically constructed the primary exterior surfaces using walnut or burr walnut veneers, while using native hardwoods like oak or pine for the internal carcass and drawer linings.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak drawer linings with grain running front-to-back, original hand-cast brass hardware, and signs of natural wood shrinkage over time.

A Georgian chest of drawers functions well as a focal statement piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living area, pairing effectively with contemporary artwork and minimalist accessories to balance traditional textures with modern lines.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent drying and veneer lifting.
