Antique Jacobean Style Ebonised Oak Chest of Drawers | Bun Feet

1900 - 1920
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique 20th century Jacobean style chest of drawers in oak, a handsome and well-proportioned piece of good quality, with a striking dark ebonised finish and plenty of period character.

It offers generous storage, with two short drawers over three long graduated drawers, each fitted with decorative brass pear drop handles on pierced foliate backplates.

The drawer fronts are applied with bold geometric mouldings in the 17th century manner, framed by a moulded overhanging top and a moulded plinth base raised on turned bun feet.

The oak has been finished in a deep ebonised tone through which the open grain still shows, giving the chest a rich, dramatic look that works equally well in traditional and contemporary interiors.

Presented in good condition, it is a very desirable and practical piece, perfect for a bedroom, landing or hallway, and would make a wonderful addition to any home.

This 1920 Jacobean revival chest of drawers is constructed from solid oak with a deep ebonised black finish that highlights the open timber grain. The storage configuration consists of two short drawers above three long graduated drawers, fitted with decorative brass pear-drop handles on pierced foliate backplates and inset keyholes. Bold geometric mouldings decorate the drawer fronts in the seventeenth-century manner, complemented by a moulded overhanging top, a moulded plinth base, and turned bun feet. Measuring 107 cm wide, 52.5 cm deep, and 111 cm high, this piece provides practical storage suitable for a bedroom, landing, or hallway. The robust structure and dramatic dark finish suit both traditional and contemporary interiors, offering a functional storage solution with distinct historical character.

Jacobean style furniture originated in 17th-century England, characterised by robust oak construction, geometric moulded drawer fronts, turned legs or bun feet, and dark stained or ebonised finishes.

These chests are traditionally constructed from solid oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, geometrically applied timber mouldings, brass drop handles, and turned bun feet.

Authentic pieces display irregular hand-sawn timber marks, hand-forged iron or wooden peg joinery, age-related timber shrinkage, and legitimate wear patterns around handles and feet.

Pair dark ebonised oak with light neutral walls, brass or metallic decorative accents, and contemporary art or textured ceramics above to create strong visual contrast.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly along the grain to protect the timber finish, and position away from direct heat sources to prevent warping.
