Antique Bow Front Mahogany Chest of Drawers | 19th Century

19th century
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique 19th century bow front chest of drawers in mahogany, a handsome and well-proportioned piece of good quality, showcasing fine craftsmanship.

It is fitted with two short over three long graduated drawers, all with cockbeaded edges, inset brass keyhole escutcheons and brass rosette pulls with teardrop drops.

The gently bowed front sits beneath a top with a reeded edge, and the chest stands on a moulded base with shaped bracket feet. The back is made of wide pine boards, typical of the period.

The mahogany displays a stunning flame figured grain to the drawer fronts and a warm, rich colour with a lovely glowing patina.

Presented in good condition commensurate with age. A very desirable mahogany bow front chest of drawers, perfect for any bedroom, landing or living room.

FAQs

A bowfront chest of drawers features a gently curved convex front, which was widely produced throughout the Georgian, Regency, and Victorian eras. These pieces typically present a two-over-three drawer configuration, flame mahogany veneers, and traditional bracket or splayed feet.

Primary exterior surfaces were commonly crafted from mahogany, walnut, or oak, often finished with rich wood veneers. Internal drawer linings were typically constructed using secondary timbers such as pine or oak, accompanied by cast brass handles and escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer boxes, uneven wood shrinkage on the back panels, and hand-planed secondary timber. Original brass hardware often shows natural oxidisation and surface wear consistent with age.

Positioning rich mahogany furniture against light neutral, muted green, or deep navy walls creates a striking visual contrast. Decorating the top surface with modern ceramics, framed abstract art, or contemporary lighting balances the traditional woodwork.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year using a soft microfibre cloth to nourish the wood and protect the patina. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer lifting or timber splitting.
