This mid-18th-century Dutch Baroque chest of drawers belongs to the 18th Century period and adopts a serpentine form. Constructed from warm brown burr walnut veneer with oak and brass, the piece has a polished timber finish displaying rich figuring across the front and top. The visual details comprise five graduated drawers arranged as two short and three long drawers, each fitted with decorative brass drop handles and brass keyhole escutcheons, alongside moulded shaped drawer fronts, a gently undulating shaped front profile, and bracket feet supporting the base. Measuring 81 cm high, 84 cm wide, and 48 cm deep, this chest is suited for placement in a bedroom, living room, hallway, or study as practical storage and a display surface for lamps, books, or decorative objects within a home today.

FAQs

Eighteenth-century Dutch furniture from the Baroque and Rococo periods is distinguished by shaped or bombe silhouettes, elaborate grain patterns from burr veneers, and detailed brass hardware. Craftsmen emphasised proportion, storage capacity, and decorative timber figuring.

These chests were typically constructed with an oak or pine carcass overlaid with thin cuts of figured burr walnut veneer. Secondary woods like oak were used for drawer linings, while cast brass was employed for handles and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature thick, hand-sawn veneers, hand-cut dovetail joints, and pine or oak drawer bottoms with natural shrinkage gaps. Metal fittings should show signs of authentic oxidisation and casting imperfections on the reverse side.

A dark timber chest functions well as a focal piece when placed against light walls in an entryway, dining room, or bedroom. Juxtaposing the curved silhouette with contemporary artwork or minimal ceramic decor creates a balanced, layered visual scheme.

Dust regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting, cracking, or fading.
