This small mid-nineteenth-century chest of drawers comes from the Victorian period, made by Holland and Sons in mahogany with oak-lined drawers. The piece displays a warm brown timber colour with a figured Cuban mahogany grain, four long graduated drawers fitted with dark turned wooden knob handles, small brass keyhole escutcheons, and a solid plinth base. Measuring 61 cm high, 63.5 cm wide, and 30.5 cm deep, the compact proportion suits smaller spaces. Position this chest in a bedroom, hallway, or living room as a practical surface and storage unit. The top right-hand drawer bears the maker's brand from Holland and Sons Upholsterers, 19 Marylebone St London. The traditional design suits an English Country House interior style, offering functional drawer space while maintaining a compact footprint for everyday domestic use.

FAQs

Mid-19th-century chests of drawers are functional storage pieces produced during the Early Victorian era, characterised by solid wood framing, rich veneers, and graduated drawer configurations designed to optimize storage space.

Cabinetmakers predominantly utilised solid mahogany or rich mahogany veneers over pine casings, featuring hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints, turned wooden knobs, and brass lock mechanisms.

Authentic pieces from this era exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, evidence of natural timber shrinkage, stamped cabinetmaker marks inside drawers or on top edges, and genuine patination on original finishes.

Position the chest as a functional anchor in a hallway or bedroom, pairing it with contemporary ceramics, framed artwork, or modern lighting to create contrast against rich historical timber.

Keep timber furniture away from direct heat sources and harsh sunlight to prevent drying or cracking. Dust regularly with a dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually to protect the lustre.
