Description

Elegant Early 19th-Century Regency Flame Mahogany Bow-Front Chest of Drawers

​A sensational example of classic Regency craftsmanship, this bow-front chest of drawers combines exceptional proportions with breathtaking timber selection and refined decorative detailing.

​Key Highlights & Features

​Flame Mahogany Grain: The three graduated drawer fronts are faced in cuts of flame mahogany veneer, showcasing a rich, dramatic feather-grain figure and a deep, warm patina.

​Inlay Work: Delicately framed with boxwood and ebony stringing, highlighting the elegant bow-front curve.

​Brassware: Fitted with ornate oval brass oval backplates featuring central decorative work and drop handles.

​Base & Stance: Raised on classic splayed bracket feet that seamlessly follow the sweep of the lower apron.

​Condition: Restored to showroom condition while preserving its historic integrity and character. Includes its original key for the functioning brass locks.

​Description

​Crafted during the Regency period (c. 1810–1820), this chest of drawers embodies the refined elegance and understated sophistication of the era.

​The curved bow front draws the eye across the matched flame mahogany veneers, which feature an extraordinary swirling figure that glows under light. Each drawer front is framed by boxwood and ebony line inlay, creating a crisp outline that complements the aged brass hardware.

​Offering substantial practical storage without dominating a room, its well-proportioned three-drawer layout glides smoothly and retains original locking mechanisms, complete with key. The piece stands with an elegant stance on continuous splayed feet, making it an ideal focal point for a main bedroom, grand hallway, or traditional drawing room.

​Depth: 55 cm

​Height: 91 cm

​Condition & Restoration

FAQs

A Regency bowfront chest features a convex curved front facade, typically executed in flame mahogany veneers during the early 19th century. Design hallmarks include clean neoclassical proportions, graduated drawers, splayed bracket feet, and brass hardware such as oval backplate handles.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised solid mahogany and applied high-grade flame mahogany veneers to create symmetrical grain patterns. Secondary timber such as pine or oak was used for drawer linings, while handles and escutcheons were cast or pressed in brass.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer linings, oak or pine secondary woods, and hand-planed timber surfaces. Look for age-appropriate wear around keyholes, natural oxidisation on the brass hardware, and shrinkage marks on original timber veneers.

A bowfront chest functions well as a focal piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living room alcove. Modern designers balance the warm timber tones with contemporary lighting, minimal ceramic accessories, or a framed mirror mounted on the wall above.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent timber movement or veneer lifting. Maintain the surface finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year.
