Antique Small Mahogany Bow Front Chest of Drawers | Bracket Feet

1900 - 1920
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique 20th century small bow front chest of drawers in mahogany, a charming and beautifully shaped piece with elegant proportions and plenty of traditional character.

Resting on bracket feet, the gently curved bow front gives the chest a particularly attractive profile and adds softness to its overall appearance.

Three drawers provide useful storage and are each finished with decorative brass handles, adding a refined detail against the mahogany.

Beautiful natural grain and rich colour enhance the piece throughout, with the curved form showing off the character of the wood especially well.

Its smaller proportions make it wonderfully versatile and easy to place, while still offering practical everyday storage.

Presented in good condition, well made and of good quality, this desirable chest would bring both character and functionality to a bedroom, hallway or living space.

This Georgian style small chest of drawers originates from the 1920 period and follows a traditional design. The construction uses mahogany with a warm brown timber colour, complemented by decorative brass circular ring handles on each drawer front. The facade features a distinct curved bow front shape, raised moulding framing each drawer, and shaped bracket feet supporting the base. Natural wood grain runs across the surfaces, and dark trim accents the edges of the drawers and top. The piece measures 71 cm high, 58 cm wide, and 37.5 cm deep overall. Practical everyday storage is provided across the three drawers. In a modern home, this chest of drawers suits placement in a bedroom, hallway, or living space to organise small items while adding traditional character to the interior decoration.

A bow front chest of drawers features a gently curved convex front facade, a popular design architectural element introduced during the late 18th century to add subtle dimension and visual elegance to cabinet furniture.

Cabinetmakers during the Georgian period primarily utilised imported West Indian or Cuban mahogany for cabinet exteriors, paired with pine or oak secondary timber for drawer lining, held together with hand-cut dovetail joinery and solid brass hardware.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer construction, uneven tool marks on secondary timber backing, original brass drop handles or key escutcheons, and natural patination across the wood finish.

A small mahogany chest functions well as an entryway piece, an elegant bedside table, or an accent storage cabinet paired with contemporary lighting, natural textiles, and neutral colour palettes.

Maintain mahogany timber by dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and applying a high-quality bees-wax polish once or twice a year, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to avoid drying or fading.
