This small Edwardian mahogany bow front chest of drawers is a traditional piece of English Country House furniture. The exterior displays a rich warm brown timber tone, complemented by fine light wood stringing along the top edge and drawer fronts, while the interior drawers are mahogany lined. The structure incorporates four graduated drawers, each fitted with a pair of brass ring drop handles and a central keyhole escutcheon, above splay bracket feet. The curved front profile provides a refined silhouette typical of the period. Measuring 76 cm wide by 52 cm deep by 84 cm high, this compact storage unit fits comfortably in a bedroom, hallway or living space as a bedside table, hallway accent piece or small chest for folded garments and everyday accessories. The design suits both period and transitional interior schemes, offering practical surface space and concealed storage drawers for daily household use.

FAQs

An Edwardian bow front chest of drawers is a wooden storage piece characterised by a convex, curved front facade and crafted during the early twentieth century, often drawing design inspiration from earlier Georgian cabinetmaking.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over pine or oak carcases, featuring drawer linings joined with hand-cut dovetails and solid brass handles.

Authentic pieces feature period hand-cut dovetail joinery, original brass hardware, natural timber grain variations, and evidence of historical hand-finishing rather than modern machine production.

Position the chest against a neutral wall as a bedroom storage unit, or place it in an entryway topped with a structured table lamp and modern ceramics to balance traditional timber tones.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to maintain the timber finish, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
