A very striking, rare late 17th century chest of drawers

Charles II c1660-1680.

The lower section having two further drawers, of a similar design. The drawer fronts are each decorated with rosewood to the centres, and framed with fruitwood, with oak drawer dividers. The different woods compliment each other beautifully, resulting in wonderful warm, contrasting shades and different wood textures.

Lovely lustrous, glowing patina.
