Antique Georgian Bow Front Chest of Drawers | 18th Century | Af-6549

18th century
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique 18th century Georgian bow front chest of drawers, a beautifully proportioned period piece with an elegant curved front and plenty of traditional character.

Four drawers are arranged across the front, comprising two generous drawers with two smaller drawers above, providing a useful amount of storage. Each is finished with beautiful decorative brass handles, adding an elegant detail and complementing the classic Georgian design.

Particularly striking is the wonderfully vibrant grain, with rich variations in colour giving the chest depth and individuality throughout.

The graceful bow front enhances the natural beauty of the timber and gives the piece a particularly attractive profile.

In good condition, well made and of good quality, this highly desirable Georgian chest combines practical storage with the beauty and character expected from a genuine period piece.

This 18th-century Georgian bow-front chest of drawers belongs to the period and follows an English country house style. The piece is constructed from mahogany with a warm brown finish and flame mahogany veneer, and includes two short drawers over two long drawers, keyhole escutcheons on each drawer front, raised cockbeading framing every drawer, and splayed bracket feet at the base. Oval brass backplates with drop handles are fitted to each drawer front. Measuring 91 cm high, 100.5 cm wide, and 52.5 cm deep, the chest fits neatly into a bedroom or dressing room as a practical storage unit for clothing and linens. The substantial surface top provides space for lamps, mirrors, or decorative items, while the compact footprint suits period properties and modern interiors alike.

FAQs

Georgian bow front furniture is identified by its gently convex curved front panel, introduced in the late 18th century to create a softer, more fluid silhouette compared to flat-front cabinet furniture.

Pieces from this period predominantly feature solid mahogany or oak carcases adorned with flame mahogany veneers, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and cast brass hardware.

Authentic Georgian chests typically display hand-planed back panels, irregular hand-cut dovetail joints, original oak or pine drawer linings, and natural wear patterns consistent with age around the drawer runners.

A Georgian chest works as a anchor piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living space, balancing contemporary artwork or minimalist lighting placed on its top surface.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement.
