Carse Antiques has dated this piece to the 1750s.
This beautiful small size chest on stand is of outstanding original colour and patination. The top section with two over three drawer configuration.
The cross grain top cornice mould is a very nice shape with pine top.
The ORIGINAL stand has one drawer of the same construction as the top section and square cabriole legs. The cabriole legs have been re-done in Georgian times as the original elm ones would have either rotted or been very badly worm damaged but you have to look very hard to see the joint.
The sides of both the top and bottom sections are solid elm and are a lovely rich dark colour and patination.
The drawers are all pine lined.
The colour of this piece is outstanding, as good as you'll get on early walnut. Apart from the old repaired legs to the stand everything else is original and un-touched.
SIZES; The base section is 38" wide, the top section is 36" wide. 20" deep. 61 1/2" high overall
