18th Century Mahogany Chest/storage

18th century
Description

A very fine 18th century piece of furniture. The front view of this very large piece appears to be nine drawers however the top five are false as the top of the chest lifts up to create a large space for further storage,

The condition overall is very good, I should say at this point that this chest is very large and be probably more suited to a downstairs situation such as a Hallway or Dining room .

Inspection and/or collection welcome here in

Height 104 cms

Length 178 cms

Depth 78 cms

Please ask for a quote for delivery .

FAQs

Georgian chests of drawers are characterised by symmetrical proportions, high-quality timber such as mahogany or oak, hand-cut dovetail joinery, and brass bail or swan-neck handles.

Primary construction relied heavily on dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany, with secondary timbers such as pine or oak utilised for internal drawer linings and carcass backs.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn timber marks, uneven hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer construction, original brassware with cast backplates, and natural oxidisation on untouched surfaces.

Contrast dark mahogany timber against neutral lime-wash plaster walls, layering contemporary ceramics or abstract artwork above the top surface to ground the historical piece within modern schemes.

Apply natural beeswax sparingly once or twice a year, buffing along the grain to preserve the patina, while keeping the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage.
