19th century
Description

A beautiful antique Georgian quality mahogany bow front chest of drawers dating from 1800, boasting elegant proportions and a wonderfully rich mahogany colour.

The gently bow shaped front adds sophistication while providing generous storage, making it equally suited to a bedroom, hallway or living room. The drawers are oak lined, run smoothly and offer excellent storage space.

FAQs

Georgian bow-front chests are defined by their convex curved fronts, introduced in the late 18th century to soften the straight lines of traditional case furniture. They typically feature smooth-running graduated drawers, refined timber veneers, and bracket or splayed French feet.

Primary exteriors were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcasses. Secondary timbers like pine, oak, or cedar were used for drawer linings, complemented by cast brass backplates and drop handles.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn backboards, and natural shrinkage marks in the wood. Drawer linings often show hand-planing marks, while the brass hardware and lock escutcheons display age-consistent oxidisation and wear.

Positioning rich mahogany furniture against textured neutral walls, such as lime wash or muted plaster, creates balanced visual contrast. Styling the top with contemporary ceramics, minimal lighting, or clean-lined artwork prevents the space from feeling overly traditional.

Maintain the finish by applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, buffing gently with a soft cotton cloth. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber movement, drying, or fading.
