18th Century Bleached Oak Chest on Stand

18th century
For Sale by LTANTIQUES.CO.UK
Description

A striking bleached and heavily carved oak chest on stand, dating to circa 1760. The upper chest features six drawers with elaborate scrolling, foliate and floral carving throughout, complemented by brass handles and escutcheons. The carved decoration continues onto the lower stand, which has another three drawers and is raised on elegant shaped legs with further carved detail.

The piece has been given a distinctive raw, bleached/driftwood-style finish, highlighting the character and depth of the carved oak. The carving appears to be a later decorative addition, giving this substantial antique an individual and highly decorative character.

A wonderful statement piece with considerable presence, ideal for a country-house or modern interior.

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

A chest on stand, also known as a highboy, is a two-part furniture piece featuring a upper chest of drawers supported by an elevated table-like base with legs.

These pieces were primarily constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, and later mahogany, using hand-dovetailed drawer joints and wrought iron or cast brass ironmongery.

Authentic period pieces display hand-sawn wood grain variations, hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, historic wear around keyholes, and structural separation between the upper chest and the lower stand.

Place the chest against a neutral or dark backdrop to emphasize its light tone, pairing it with contemporary ceramics or simple glass accessories to balance the detailed hand carvings.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying clear beeswax sparingly to preserve the timber finish.
