Mahogany Bow Front Chest of Drawers

19th century
Description

A very nice quality, original regency period bow fronted chest of drawers.

With choice flamed mahogany veneering to the front of the drawers, solid mahogany sides and backs to the drawers and top quality brass pulls.

The quality of the timber and detail in the craftsmanship in this chest could point towards a fair attribution to a top cabinet maker, such as Gillows.

Raised on 'French splayed' original feet, retaining original back boards also.

A very clean, tidy and practical chest that is ready to place.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. 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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Produced predominantly during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a bow-front chest features a gently convex curved front facade designed to soften the angular lines of traditional bedroom furniture.

Craftsmen typically utilised solid mahogany framing with flame mahogany veneers over pine or oak carcases, constructed using hand-cut dovetail joints and fitted with cast brass handle plates.

Authentic period examples display hand-sawn drawer linings, original cockbeading along drawer edges, marks from hand planes on the reverse, and natural oxidisation on internal timber surfaces.

Anchor the chest in an entryway, hallway, or bedroom, pairing its dark timber tone with neutral wall paint, modern lighting, and framed artwork to create visual contrast.

Dust regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and apply a beeswax polish twice yearly, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or color change.
