Antique George III 1790 Mahogany & Brass Chest of 5 Drawers by J Moorcroft

18th century
Description

Here we have a small proportioned George III, circa 1790, about 230 year old Mahogany & Brass Handled Chest of 5 Drawers with ogee feet by cabinet maker J Moorcroft. With all original brass handles, key inscriptions and locks. This piece has a beautiful patina only achieved from years of age to the wood and this is why we have carefully chosen to leave the brass handles with the aged look and not cleaned up as it is now a real character piece.

J Moorcroft was a cabinet maker from Ormskirk Lancashire who operated between 1787-98.

Height - 85.8 cm / 33.78 inches

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

George III chests of drawers, crafted in Britain during the late eighteenth century, typically feature balanced classical proportions, mahogany construction, hand-dovetailed drawer linings, brass swan-neck handles, and sturdy bracket feet.

Primary construction utilised solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcass wood, secured with hand-cut dovetail joints and fitted with cast brass drop handles and iron mortise locks.

Authentic period pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, slightly irregular hand-cut dovetail joints, original iron lock mechanisms, authentic brass hardware oxidisation, and timber shrinkage consistent with age.

A Georgian mahogany chest serves as a grounding focal point in a hallway, bedroom, or living area, complemented by contemporary artwork mounted above or paired with modern ceramic lamps to create visual contrast.

Position mahogany away from direct sunlight and radiator heat sources to prevent timber movement; apply a high-grade beeswax polish twice annually following the natural grain of the wood.
