Small Georgian Oak Chest of Drawers

18th century
Description

A small Georgian oak chest of drawers dating from the early 19th Century. It is made from solid oak and has four long drawers with its original brass swan neck handles and brass escutcheons. It is good quality with a moulded edge and small bracket feet.

It is in good condition for its age. It has developed a lovely rich patina and is strong and sturdy. There are some signs of age and use and it has picked up some small knocks and marks but nothing detrimental or untoward. The drawers are generally clean and tidy and open smoothly. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE GEORGIAN ERA:
Vertical plank back with shrinkage gaps: cabinet work from before 1830.
Drawer bottoms running side to side: joinery method used until the early nineteenth century.
Medullary rays, the silvery flecks on the top: distinctive of slow-grown quarter-sawn oak.
Cast brass swan-neck handles with round backplates: late Georgian fittings.

This is an independent date and photo anotation report compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This small Georgian chest of drawers belongs to the early 19th Century and follows an English Country House style. Constructed from solid oak in a dark brown finish, the piece features a moulded edge along the top surface and stands on small bracket feet with arched aprons between them. Four graduated drawers run down the front, each fitted with brass swan-neck handles on backplates and pierced brass keyhole escutcheons, showing a rich patina with small knocks and marks reflecting its age. The item measures 76 cm high, 69 cm wide, and 47 cm deep, providing compact storage capacity. In a home today, it functions as a practical bedroom chest or a side table in a hallway or living room, adding traditional timber character to an interior.

FAQs

Georgian period furniture, dating from 1714 to 1830, is characterised by classical proportions, native timber construction such as oak and mahogany, and symmetrical, functional form.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid English oak, walnut, or mahogany, constructed with hand-dovetailed drawer joints, solid timber linings, and cast brass handles with keyhole escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn timber markings, hand-cut dovetail joints, original cast brass hardware with irregular threads, and hand-planed back panels.

A dark oak chest provides grounded storage in a modern bedroom or hallway, creating textural contrast against neutral walls and modern art.

Apply a clear beeswax polish twice a year with a microfibre cloth, position the item away from direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage, and dust regularly.
