This is a superb quality pair of antique Victorian mahogany bedside chests, circa 1860.
The drawer linings feature quartered beading to the drawer frames (a sign of quality). Each of the drawers features a working lock and there is a working key. Each bedside chest boasts elegant chamfered moulded round cornered tops with a chamfered up-stand at the back (idea for stopping items falling down the back of the bedsides when in situ). The bedsides stand on the original good quality rounded mahogany plinths. Both chests are constructed of top quality solid mahogany timber; the drawer fronts are finished with a good quality mahogany. The quality is reflected in the weight of these bedsides; they are heavy to lift! During this period, England was imported top quality timber from its colonies.
The bedsides feature a rich, yet classic, red and brown mahogany colour. They have a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
